HOW TO CARE FOR SOY CANDLES?

Today we want to tell you a little more about how to care for your soy candles and what precautions you should take to extend their lifespan.

Soy candles are becoming increasingly popular due to their clean burn and environmental benefits. The other day we told you why you should choose soy candles and avoid paraffin candles altogether.

Aurius candles, in particular, are distinguished by their quality and unique fragrances. To ensure you get the most out of your candles, proper care is essential. Here are some tips for caring for your Aurius candles so you can enjoy them for a long time.

TIPS

1. Initial Burn: The first time you light your candle, be sure to burn it for at least 2-3 hours. This will allow the top layer to melt completely and spread evenly. The first burn establishes a burn pattern for subsequent burns, preventing the candle from developing "tunnels" in the center.

2. Keep the wick short: Before lighting your candle, make sure the wick is about 0.6 cm long. Keeping the wick short will help the candle burn evenly and prevent excessive soot production. If you don't have candle care accessories (we'll be selling ours soon), you can always get by using nail clippers.

3. Watch the time: Don't let your candle burn for more than 4 hours at a time. This will extend its life. If you want to enjoy the fragrance longer, it's best to extinguish it for a while before relighting it.

4. Use the lid: Don't blow it out! Each Aurius candle comes with a natural wood lid, which you can use to extinguish the candle instead of blowing it out. This will prevent the wick from bending or becoming damaged. The lid also helps preserve your candle's fragrance when you're not using it. Note: Aurius candles smell strong even when they're not in use.

5. Keep the glass cup clean: When the candle is out, make sure there are no wick remnants or pieces of wick left in the cup. This will ensure a clean, even burn the next time you light the candle.

6. Reuse the glass jar: We're cradle-to-cradle. Once your Aurius soy candle has burned completely, the glass jar is meant to be reused. Clean it with warm soapy water to remove any wax residue and the label on the bottom, although we have other tricks on our TikTok. Afterward, you can repurpose it, such as a tea light holder or even a small vase.

BE CAREFUL!

1. Do not leave the candle burning unattended.

2. Do not leave the lit candle within reach of children or animals.

3. Always trim the wick before relighting. Leave 1 cm of wick.

4. Do not use any type of liquid to extinguish it. Thermal shock could cause a glass container to break, and it could also cause hot wax to splatter.

5. Do not leave the candle lit for more than 4 hours.

6. Do not light the candle near objects that can catch fire or heat sources.

7. Maintain a safe distance of at least 15 cm between several lit candles.

8. Do not place the candle near drafts.

9. To extinguish the flame, use a lid or a candle snuffer; avoid blowing it out.

10. Do not move the candle while it's lit. The container may be hot, so handle with caution.

11. Make sure the candle is on a flat, heat-resistant surface.

12. Remove matches and other debris to prevent them from igniting.

Caring for your soy candles will not only prolong their lifespan, but also allow you to enjoy their unique fragrances safely and effectively. With these tips in mind, you'll be able to enjoy your Aurius candles to the fullest and take full advantage of their exceptional quality and aromas.
