Lighting a soy candle is more than just illuminating a space: it’s a moment of calm, aroma, and well-being. But did you know there are tricks to make your candle last longer, smell better, and burn evenly? Here’s everything you need to know to get the most out of your candles.


Tips for the perfect candle burn by Glowlicht

  1. The first burn matters


    When lighting your candle for the first time, let the wax melt all the way to the edges. This prevents tunneling and ensures the candle burns evenly in the future.


  2. Trim the wick before lighting


    Keep the wick around 0.5 cm before each use. This avoids black smoke, a large flame, and soot, helping your candle last longer.


  3. Avoid drafts


    Place your candle in a calm, draft-free spot, away from open windows or fans. This keeps the flame steady and the wax melting evenly.


  4. Respect the burn time


    For soy candles, 2–4 hours per session is ideal. Burning longer can overheat the container and affect the fragrance.


  5. Turn off properly


    Use a candle snuffer or blow gently. Avoid dipping the wick into the liquid wax to preserve the scent and keep the wax clean.


  6. Keep the wax clean


    Before lighting your candle, remove any wick debris or impurities left in the wax. This ensures a more even burn.


  7. Store candles correctly


    Keep your soy candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This preserves their shape and scent.


  8. Enjoy the fragrance from the start


    Soy candles release fragrance best when the wax melts evenly. Follow these tips and enjoy a consistent, pleasant aroma in your space.


  9. Pair with special moments


    Lighting a candle can be part of your relaxation, meditation, or “me-time” routine. Use the light and scent to create a cozy, peaceful atmosphere.
