The Ultimate Guide to Candle Care and Longevity

At Liquivy, we believe in quality ~ not only in the scents and aesthetics of our candles but also in how you care for them. Proper candle care ensures a longer burn life, a cleaner burn, and an overall better experience. Here’s how to make the most of your Liquivy candle, so it lasts for as many cozy, relaxing moments as possible.

Trim the Wick Before Each Burn

One of the easiest ways to extend the life of your candle is to trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn. A long wick can cause the flame to flicker or smoke, leading to an uneven burn or wasted wax. Trimming the wick ensures that your candle burns steadily and evenly.

Keep Your Candle Away from Drafts

A candle placed in a drafty area can flicker, which can lead to uneven burning, excessive smoking, or a shorter burn time. Place your Liquivy candle in a spot that is free from fans, vents, or open windows to help maintain its performance.

Extinguish the Right Way

Instead of blowing out your candle, which can cause wax to splash or smoke to billow, try using a candle snuffer. This helps preserve the wick and prevents unwanted smoke from spoiling the relaxing atmosphere you’ve created.

Know When It’s Time to Say Goodbye

For safety reasons, discontinue burning your candle when about ¼ inch of wax remains at the bottom. Burning it past this point could overheat the container and damage your surface.

Conclusion:

By following these simple candle care tips, you’ll ensure that your Liquivy candle burns longer and cleaner, providing the full multi-sensory experience with every use. Explore our current collections to find your next favorite scent and enjoy the calming ritual for many burns to come.
