Candle Care

Taking care of your candle helps ensure a clean burn, better scent performance, and a longer-lasting experience.

Before You Light

• Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn
• Place your candle on a stable, heat-safe surface
• Keep away from drafts, pets, and children

While Burning

• Allow the wax to melt across the entire surface during the first burn (usually 2–3 hours)
• Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time
• Keep the wick centered and free of debris

After Burning

• Let the candle cool completely before relighting
• Trim the wick again if needed
• Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains

All Olympia Candle Company candles are made with clean wax blends and phthalate-free fragrance oils. Following these care steps helps you enjoy them safely, evenly, and beautifully.
