Wick maintenance: a key step for clean combustion

The wick of your candle plays a central role in combustion and flame quality . After each use, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm using a candle wick trimmer. This ensures a straight, clean, and stable flame by preventing residue and soot. A wick that is too long or angled can sink into the wax or produce black smoke .

For complete care, discover all our candle accessories : wick scissors , snuffer , long matches , etc. They will help you care for your scented candle like a pro.

How to properly extinguish a candle?

To extinguish the candle cleanly, avoid blowing out the flame : this generates black smoke , residue , and alters the fragrance. Instead, use a candle snuffer to extinguish the candle without blowing , thus preserving its scent.

Extinguishing your scented candle gently protects the wick , prevents soot buildup , and ensures better burning the next time you use it. A candle snuffer is also a stylish and safe accessory, especially if the candle is in a deep container .

Tip : Once the flame is out , let the wax cool before moving your candle.

Storing and cleaning your candles

To prolong the life of your candle, it is important to store it in a cool, dry place , away from direct sunlight , dust , and temperature fluctuations . This helps preserve the fragrance and the soy wax.

You can also clean your upcycled pot with a dry cloth to remove dust and any traces of soot.
