Candle Care

Candle Care

A little care helps your YellowLumi candle burn beautifully and safely. Follow these simple tips to get the best experience from every candle.

Before Every Burn

Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) before lighting. A properly trimmed wick helps maintain a cleaner, more controlled flame and reduces excess soot.

Keep the wax surface free from wick trimmings, matches and other debris.

The First Burn

The first burn is especially important. Allow the wax to melt evenly across most of the surface before extinguishing your candle.

This helps encourage an even burn and reduces the chance of tunneling.

While Burning

  • Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
  • Keep it away from drafts, fans and open windows.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Keep candles away from children and pets.
  • Keep away from anything that can catch fire.
  • Do not move the candle while the wax is hot or liquid.
  • Never touch the jar while it is hot.

Burn Time

Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

Allow the candle and container to cool completely before trimming the wick and lighting it again.

When to Stop Burning

Discontinue use when approximately 1/2 inch (12 mm) of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.

Burning a candle all the way to the bottom can cause the container to become excessively hot.

Storing Your Candle

When not in use, keep your candle covered and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

This helps protect the wax and fragrance and keeps dust away from the candle surface.

Enjoy the Moment

Light your YellowLumi candle, slow down and enjoy the little moments that make home feel special.

Light the moment. Feel at home.
