Because a little flame can light up a room and your heart, but safety always comes first.
So before you strike that match and vibe with your favorite Sugrbby scent, let’s go through the most burning questions we get about candle care.
Yes, bb! Trimming your wick to about 5mm (¼ inch) before every burn helps your candle burn evenly, keeps the flame steady, prevents that wild flickering, and gives your space allll the good scent vibes without the drama. ✂️✨
(Pro Tip: Wick trimmers are super cute, but scissors work exactly same as long as you are trimming the wicks!)
Keep it to 4 hours max per burn session. After that, your candle needs a lil’ rest (just like you). Long burns can overheat the jar and mess with the wax memory. Trust us, short & sweet is the way to go.
NOPE. Never sleep on a lit candle …. literally.
Unattended candles = a big no-no 🚫
Always blow it out before you step away. Safety’s sexy.
Forget the water — it’s not a fire drill.
Use a snuffer to gently extinguish the flame like the elegant candle connoisseur you are. 💁♀️
You can also just push, dip the wick into the pool of wax to avoid the smoke and always wait till there’s zero glow before walking away.
Anywhere cozy, but make sure it’s:
Stop when there’s about 1 cm of wax left at the bottom. Burning past that can overheat the jar and cause cracking. Think of it as your candle’s way of saying, “I’ve done my job.” 💛
If your flame is going wild or flickering a lot, your wick might be too long. Blow it out, trim it a bit more, and relight. A calm flame equals to a happy candle (and a safe one too).
Easy peasy:
Candles are a whole vibe, but only when used safely. Burn mindfully, love deeply, and always keep your candle care game strong 💪🕯️
