How to Care for Your Luxury Soy Candles

How to Care for Your Luxury Soy Candles

Your candle is here — now what? 🕯️✨
At The Polished Wick Candle Co., we want you to get the best experience from your hand-poured luxury candle.
Here are a few simple tips to keep your candle glowing beautifully:
✨ 1️⃣ Trim Your Wick
Before each burn, trim your wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps create an even flame and prevents sooting.
✨ 2️⃣ Let It Pool
On your first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the jar — this helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn for the life of the candle.
✨ 3️⃣ Burn Safely
Always burn your candle on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, pets, and children. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
✨ 4️⃣ Burn Time
Limit each burn to about 3–4 hours at a time to preserve the life of your candle and maintain a beautiful scent throw.
✨ 5️⃣ Love the Glow
Our boutique soy candles are designed to create polished moments in your space — whether you're relaxing, celebrating, or simply elevating everyday life.
Enjoy your glow!
Because life is meant to shine... beautifully. 🕯️✨
With love & light,
