Unlock full fragrance and longer burns

Proper candle care is crucial for getting the most out of your Between Two Palms, LLC products. By following simple guidelines, you can ensure that your candle burns evenly, lasts longer, and provides the best possible fragrance throw, allowing you to enjoy every bit of wax.

Essential tips for perfect burning

To ensure you get the best experience from your candle, follow these key steps:

  • First burn matters: Let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the jar during the first burn. This prevents tunneling and ensures a full, even burn for future uses.
  • Optimal burn time: Keep your candle lit for two to four hours per session. This allows for a proper wax pool without overheating the jar.
  • Know when to stop: Stop burning the candle when only 1/4 to 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom. This prevents the container from overheating and potential damage.
  • Trim your wick: Before each burn, cut the wick down to 1/4 inch using scissors or a wick trimmer. This prevents high flames, black smoke, and keeps your candle burning cleanly.
  • Extinguish safely: Use a snuffer or a lid to put out the flame instead of blowing it out. This reduces smoke and keeps your space smelling pleasant.
  • Safe placement: Always place candles on flat, heat-safe surfaces, away from drafts, fans, open windows, pets, and children.

Avoid common mistakes for a safer experience

We want you to enjoy your Between Two Palms, LLC products safely. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:

  • Never leave unattended: Always extinguish candles before leaving a room or going to sleep.
  • Maintain clearance: Keep candles at least 12 inches away from anything that can catch fire, such as curtains, books, and bedding.
  • Avoid drafts: Do not place candles near open windows, ceiling fans, or air vents, as these can cause uneven burning, high flames, and soot.
  • No water to extinguish: Never use water to put out a candle flame. Water can cause hot wax to splatter or, in extreme cases, cause glass containers to break. Always use a proper snuffer or the lid.
