The Ultimate Guide to Candle Care: Keeping Your Candles Burning Bright!
To make the most of your Bougie Boulevard candles and ensure they burn beautifully, here's a comprehensive guide on candle care.
1. Choosing the Right Spot
Place your candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts or anything flammable. Optimal placement prevents uneven burning and ensures a longer burn time.
2. Control Burn Time
To maintain the candle's quality, avoid burning it for more than 4 hours at a time. Give your candle a rest between uses to prolong its life and preserve its fragrance.
3. Storage Matters
Store your Bougie Boulevard candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their quality and scent. Avoid extreme temperatures, as they can affect the candle's composition.
4. Repurpose with Care
Once your candle has burned through, repurpose the container! Clean it thoroughly and repurpose it as a holder for small trinkets, succulents, or as a stylish organizer.
5. Establishing the 'Memory Burn'
During the first burn of your Bougie Boulevard candle, aim to achieve a wide melt pool, allowing the wax to liquefy across most of the surface. This process establishes a 'memory burn,' which helps prevent tunneling and ensures a more even burn in subsequent uses. However, don't worry if a perfect melt pool isn't achieved initially.
Understanding the Process
Our Bougie Boulevard wicks are designed not to burn too hot, which contributes to a longer-lasting candle. Factors like colder room temperatures might hinder the complete formation of the melt pool during the first burn. If there's a small area left unmelted, it's normal and will typically resolve itself during subsequent burns as the wick lowers further into the jar.
