Candle Care

To get the most out of your Elsie Mae Co. candles and enjoy a safe, long-lasting burn, follow these simple tips:

Trim the Wick
Before each burn, trim your wick to about ¼". This helps your candle burn cleanly and prevents excess smoke or soot.

Burn Smart
For best results, burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time. This keeps the wax from overheating and extends the life of your candle.

Stay Safe
Always place your candle on a stable, heat-safe surface, away from drafts, pets, and little hands. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Extinguishing Your Candle
For a clean finish, use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax and straighten it back up. Avoid blowing out your candle to reduce smoke.
