For a clean and even burn:
Trim the wick to 1/4" before lighting, every time. This will help prevent soot and smoke (aaaah clean burn).
We recommend creating a "burn pool", the first time you burn your candle. To do this, let the wax melt completely to the edges of the container. This will prevent tunneling or uneven wax melt.
LOW HEAT METHOD
1. Place the Candle on an electric or stovetop griddle set to the lowest temperature and allow the remaining wax to melt.
2. Carefully pour out and dispose of the melted wax or reuse it. Be careful. It will be hot! And never pour wax down the drain.
3. Pop out the glued down wick with a fork
4. Clean the entire jar with soap and water. It is not necessary to remove the label.
HEATLESS METHOD
1. Place candle in the freezer for 1-2 hours
2. Take the candle out of the freezer and carefully break up wax with a butter knife and pop out the remaining wax. The wax should shrink while being cooled and after broken up into pieces, pop out easily.
3. Use a fork and a little elbow grease to remove the glued down wick.
4. Clean the entire jar with soap and water. It is not necessary to remove the label.
Tip: To get the most out of your candle before you recycle it, always trim your wick to ¼” before each use and burn it down completely. There should be no more than ¼” wax depth left.
