Polished Tips for a Perfect Burn
At The Polished Wick Candle Co., every candle is hand-poured with purpose, love, and luxury. To ensure a safe and lasting glow, follow these essential care instructions:
Trim Your Wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to ¼ inch. This helps prevent soot buildup and ensures a steady, even flame.
Let It Burn
On your first burn, allow the candle to melt completely across the surface (about 2–3 hours). This creates an even wax memory and prevents tunneling.
Don’t Overburn
Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Extinguish the flame, let the wax cool, trim the wick, and relight later for best results.
Keep It Clean
Always burn your candle on a heat-resistant, stable surface. Keep away from drafts, fans, or flammable materials.
Recenter the Wick
After extinguishing the candle, gently recenter the wick while the wax is still soft. This promotes even burning on your next use.
Practice Safety
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always keep candles away from children, pets, and anything that could catch fire.
Your Glow, Protected
Every candle deserves care — and so do you. Treat your light with intention and enjoy the warmth, calm, and polished experience of every burn.
