Caring for Your Cottontail Nook Candles:

We believe that enjoying your candles should be a relaxing and worry-free experience. Here are a few simple tips to ensure your candles burn beautifully and safely:

Step-By-Step Candle Care:

• Full Melt: Each time you light your candle, allow the wax to melt completely to the edges of the container (approximately 1 hour) before extinguishing. This prevents "tunneling," where only the center of the candle melts.
• Limited Burn Time: For optimal burn time and safety, limit each burn session to 3-4 hours.
• Trim the Wick: Before each lighting, trim the wick to about ¼ inch. This ensures a clean burn and prevents excessive smoke. Use a wick trimmer for easy and precise cuts.
• Extinguish Safely: Use a wick snuffer or dipper to extinguish the flame cleanly. Avoid blowing out the flame, which can create smoke.
• Protect from Dust: When not in use, cover your candle with a paper topper, lid, or the original cotton bag to keep dust and debris away.

Candle Care Safety Tips:

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
• Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Use a cork or stone coaster for metal vessels.
• Keep the wax pool clear of debris.
• Burn candles in a well-ventilated area.
• Never fall asleep with a burning candle. Reed diffusers are a safer alternative for nighttime fragrance.
• Extinguish and let cool if the flame becomes too high or flickers excessively.
• Discontinue use when only ½ inch of wax remains.
