To ensure the best experience with your Traveling Owl Candle Co. wooden wick candles, follow these care tips:

  1. Trim Your Wick
    Before each burn, trim the wooden wick to approximately 1/8 inch. This helps maintain an even burn and prevents excessive smoke or soot.

  2. Burn Your Candle Evenly
    On the first burn, allow the wax to melt across the entire surface of the candle. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even, longer-lasting burn.

  3. Keep Your Candle Clean
    Remove any debris, such as wick trimmings, from the wax before lighting your candle to maintain its quality and safety.

  4. Burn Safely

    • Always burn your candle on a heat-resistant surface.

    • Never leave a burning candle unattended.

    • Keep candles away from drafts, children, and pets.

  5. Extinguish Properly
    To extinguish, gently blow out the flame or use a snuffer. Avoid blowing wax onto surfaces or using the lid to extinguish the flame.

  6. Optimal Burn Time
    Limit each burn session to 3-4 hours to avoid overheating the jar and to maximize the life of your candle.

  7. Reuse Your Vessel
    Once your candle is finished, clean out the remaining wax, and repurpose the jar or bowl for storage, décor, or a planter!

By following these care instructions, you’ll enjoy the full charm and coziness of your wooden wick candle. Thank you for bringing Traveling Owl Candle Co. into your home!
