Candle Care & Safety Tips

To get the most out of your Geneva Candles & Co experience and enjoy a safe, clean burn every time, follow these simple care tips:

• Always burn your candle within sight and keep it away from anything flammable, as well as from children and pets.

• Trim the wick to about 3/16" (5mm) before each use to prevent soot and ensure an even burn.

• Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, and debris.

• Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. For smaller candles, we recommend a max of 2 hours per session.

• Stop burning your candle once 1/2" of wax remains to help prevent overheating or glass breakage.

For a Clean, Even Burn:

• Burn in a well-ventilated space, away from drafts, vents, or fans, which can cause uneven burning.

• After extinguishing, gently center and straighten the wick while the wax is still soft.

• Let the candle cool completely before relighting, and clean off any wick residue before the next use.

• Place multiple candles at least 8 inches apart to avoid heat interference.

• If the flame seems off-center or uneven, rotate the candle or move it out of a draft.

Use the candle’s lid to safely extinguish the flame and keep your wax clean between burns.
