CANDLE TIPS
What are the basics of burning a Plant Project candle?
Should I "Trim my Wick"?
Yes!! Trimming your wick each time before you light your candle helps keep that wick in check so that it doesn't use up too much wax. This will keep your flame manageable and extend the burning time of your candle up to 50%. Bonus!
My candle is smoking!
Your soy candle should typically be smoke free, but any candle has the potential to produce soot if not cared for properly.
Do not place your candles in a drafty area, try to keep it in a relatively calm spot.
My candle won't stay lit!
The first burn is the most important with any candle:
How long will my candle burn for?
Our 12 oz candles are designed to burn for 50+ hours. Make sure you always allow your candle to burn all the way across before extinguishing, and give your wick a quick trim before you burn it. Make sure to only burn your candle approx 3 hours at a time to get the most out of it.
What should I do with my jar when I'm done with my candle?
Drop it back to us & we will give it a new life! Find more info on our sustainability page on where to drop off your jar.
Clean it & reuse it in your home as a cocktail tumbler, makeup brush holder, mini vase, etc.
