IMPORTANT CANDLE CARE TIPS
Help Your Candles Last Longer & Burn Better
ALWAYS KEEP A BURNING CANDLE WITHIN SIGHT.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS.
NEVER BURN ON OR NEAR ANYTHING THAT CAN CATCH FIRE.
ALWAYS TRIM YOUR WICK TO 1/4” EACH TIME THE CANDLE IS LIT.
This maximizes the burn time of your candle while reducing your
chances of soot. Use a sharp wick trimmer or scissors to ensure a
clean cut.
Always burn your candle on a heat‐resistant, flat, stable surface.
Trapp votive candles will liquefy when burning. Always place in snug‐fitting candle holder to maintain
the original shape of the candle. Trapp votives should not be burned longer than 2 hours at a time.
Follow the instructions regarding how long to burn your candle at a time. Most candles are 4 hours or
less but it depends on the size of the candle.
Allow the entire top of your candle to liquefy each time you light your candle – this can take several
hours. Candles have a memory – if not allowed to pool completely they can start to tunnel causing
excess wax to build up on the edges of the glass.
Don’t have a few hours to burn your candle?
Although nothing can replace the ambiance of a lit candle, wax melts can be used to quickly fill
your room with fragrance and can be turned on/off whenever you like.
Be sure to burn candles in a well-ventilated room but be sure to keep candles away from drafts and
vents. If your candle burns unevenly after trimming and centering the wick, your candle is likely in a
draft. We recommend changing location of the candle.
Immediately after extinguishing the candle, use tweezers to keep your wick centered. Never allow a
burning wick to touch the glass.
Discontinue use of candle when 1/4” of wax remains to prevent the burning wick from getting too close
to the glass.
