Fragrance Care
Proper candle and wax melt maintenance is essential to you enjoying your Pipe Dream Candle fragrance at max power - and most importantly safely! Below is what you need to know:
-
Trim your Wick: to 1/4" before every burn. No exceptions.
- For Wax Melts: remove from plastic clamshell before placing on your wax melter. Use 1-2 cubes at a time.
-
Time Yourself: Please do not burn your candle or wax melt for more than 4 hours at a time - not only does this enhance scent performance but it last you longer.
-
Be Aware: Always keep your candle or wax melt in sight and away from children, both human and animal, and billowing curtains.
-
Watch the Shrooms: We cotton wicks prone to mushrooming - this is completely normal. However unchecked mushrooms, especially after multiple hours of burning, can bend the wick and bring the flame closer to the glass, which is a safety issue. If you notice a mushroom is getting too big, blow out your candle and let it cool. Then trim the mushroom, remove debris, and light it up again!
-
Allow a Full Melt Pool: For an even burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edge of your container before blowing it out. Otherwise you may experience tunneling, which shortens the life of the candle and impacts scent throw.
- Common Sense: Please only place your candles and wax melt warmers on flat, stable surfaces that are away from flammable items. No lighting it in cars (yes, this happens in real life,) on a wonky windowsill within sneezing distance of a curtain, or similar places and situations. Do not add water, other liquids or foreign objects into the candle or wax melt. Remember that your container will be HOT after a burn. Let it cool before handling. And please remember to blow out your candle or turn off your wax melter before bed.
ENJOY!
