Candle Care Tips for Jars and Votives
Candle Care Tips:
If you are a candle lover you burn candles, all kinds of candles. But when you find an extrodenary candle you tell eveyone you know. That is what a Gourmet Scented Candle is. A quality candle that you will want to run and tell or share with everyone. I have customer's say to me, what is the most popular scent you sell? My response is that we have over 90 available year round and it will depend on the season and month. I sell a lot of candles. Everyone has a favorite and well it all depends on the person buying it. But for the most part those traditional scents always seem to sell well anytime. Like Apple Cinnamon, Cinnamon Raisin bun, Banana Nut Bread, Victorian Rose, Rain, Slate and Stone and even Sex On The Beach. What every your favorite time of year is, who the person is and what they like will depend on the scent you favore. No matter what scent you like best, we have it.
What are some tipes on getting a better burn time out of my jar candles?
Keep the candle out of a draft or down draft. Ceiling fans can cause this kind of draft. It will make the candle burn faster, and can create a pull effect to the wicks in the liquid state of the candles.
When I burn a votive why does it puddle? Becasue our products are soy, bees wax and vegetable base they are they fall into what is known a "soft candle line" these candles are a softer candle and if not burnt in the right holder you will get less performance out of them. BURN them in a snug fitting votive holder. These are usually cheaper and come in many designer looks now a days. Putting your candle in this kind of holder will give you a much better result and you will have a longer burn time expereince.
I spilt wax on my carpet, how do I get this up?
Well let me tell you that traditioanlly candles that spill on carpet, funiture or fabric was not easy to clean up. Matter of fact you may have just thrown it away. But now thanks to this proprietary formula you can clean it up in a snap with hot soapy water. (No scalding but warm) Try this with other candles on the market and well you are on your own. Our candles are made from natrual materials that are biodegradable. So better for the enviroment and we are not putting off hazardous toxic materials. Cleaner burning!
Should I trim my wicks? Yes, to 1/4 inch each time before lighting the candles. This will give you a better wick system, burn time will again be lengthened. We offer a double cotton wick system that allows for even burning and also will burn at a lower temp. So you are already getting double the burn time than an average scented candle.
Recommend that you also burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time then extinguish and then trim the wick before relighting. This will keep the wicks in the center of the jar and keep them from getting long and folding oven into the wax.
If you have qeustions about candle care please email me at
GourmetCandles4Cash@msn.com and direct them to Candle Care Questions. I will post the question and the answer for everyone to read.
Next weeks topics will talk about choosing scents based on moods.
