🕯️ Candle Care Guide

Because every spark deserves to shine beautifully.

Your Spark & Spirit candle is handmade with love using natural soy wax and premium fragrance oils. With a little care, you can make sure it burns safely, evenly, and lasts as long as possible. 💛


🌿 Before You Light It

  • Trim your wick to ¼ inch (about 5 mm) before each burn — this helps prevent soot and uneven flames.

  • Make sure your candle is placed on a heat-resistant surface, away from curtains or flammable items.

  • Avoid drafts or air currents, which can cause uneven burning or flickering flames.

  • On your first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the glass. This helps prevent “tunneling” and ensures an even burn.


🔥 While It’s Burning

  • Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

  • Always keep the flame within sight — never leave a burning candle unattended.

  • Keep away from children, pets, and flammable products.

  • If your candle flickers or smokes, carefully extinguish it, let it cool, trim the wick, and relight.


💛 After You Blow It Out

  • Allow the wax to cool completely before moving or touching the jar.

  • Clean any soot from the rim using a soft, dry cloth.

  • Before relighting, always trim the wick again to ¼ inch for a clean, steady burn.


🌸 When Your Candle Is Done

Don’t toss your jar — reuse it!

  • Remove leftover wax with warm water and mild soap.

  • Reuse your barro mexicano mugs or glass jars as planters, brush holders, or storage for small items. 🌿

  • Each vessel is designed to stay beautiful — even after the last burn.


✨ Extra Tips for the Best Experience

  • Store your candles in a cool, dark, and dry place when not in use.

  • Avoid placing them under direct sunlight or near heat sources — soy wax is sensitive to temperature changes.

  • Every candle is handcrafted — small variations in color or frosting are signs of natural, pure soy wax. 🌿
