How to care for your large scented candle: simple tips for a perfect burn

Scented candles are more than just a decorative element. They create a cozy, relaxing and harmonious environment. But to ensure that your candle lasts longer, burns evenly and releases all its aroma, it is essential to take good care of it. In this blog, we share all the secrets to keeping your large Raysin candles in vases with soy wax and wooden wicks in perfect condition.

1. First burn: why is it so important?

Soy wax has a "memory". If the wax only melts in the center the first time you burn it, the candle will only burn in that area the next time you burn it, forming a "tunnel" . To avoid this, leave the candle burning long enough for the entire surface to melt all the way to the edges. This usually takes 3 to 4 hours .

2. Wooden wick: how to care for it?

Instead of a regular wick, our candles use a wooden wick , which creates a relaxing crackling effect, like a small fireplace. However, it requires some special care:
✔️ Before each use, remove or trim the burnt part of the wick, leaving about 5 mm . This ensures a clean burn, without excess smoke.
✔️ If the flame is too weak or goes out, pour some of the melted wax , allowing the wick to burn properly again.

3. How long should the candle burn?

The ideal burning time is 3 to 4 hours . If the candle is left burning for longer, the wax may overheat, affecting the aroma and reducing its durability.

4. How to extinguish the candle correctly?

🚫 Do not blow out the candle – this can cause smoke and spoil the aroma.
✅ The best way is to use a wick snuffer or dip the wooden wick in the wax and lift it out again . This prevents soot and keeps the wick in good condition for the next burn.

5. Safety first!

• Always place the candle on a flat surface , away from wind and flammable materials.
• Never leave it alone and on without supervision .
• Do not touch the hot wax or move the candle while it is still liquid.

6. How to store your candle?

To preserve the aroma and texture of soy wax:
🌿 Keep the candle away from direct sunlight and moisture .
🕯 If you are not going to use it for a long period of time, cover it with a lid or store it in a box .

Conclusion

By taking good care of your candle, you will prolong its lifespan and maintain its intense aroma. Let your candles create a welcoming, harmonious environment full of positive energy!

✨ Light your candle – and enjoy the moment! ✨
