Allow candle to cool before trimming wick or relighting.
Container/Jar Candles:
TRIM THE WICK TO 1/4" BEFORE EACH BURN.

Do not allow candle to burn completely down to the bottom of container, stop about 1/2 inch short.

Containers may become very hot if wick is not trimmed, handle with care!
Allow candle to cool before replacing lid on jar.
All candles, especially highly scented ones, will produce some smoke and soot, proper burning (keeping wick trimmed and avoiding drafts, etc.) will help eliminate this problem.
Helpful Tips:
Burn Candles 1 hour for each inch of it's diameter. This allows the flame time to melt the wax to the outer edge. Burning less time will cause the candle to core burn down the middle & shorten burn time. Example: a 3" wide candle should be burned for 3 hours at a time.
Multi-wick candles should be burned no longer than 2-3 hrs at a time.
Use Wick Trimmers Toenail Clippers to trim wicks in jars in which scissors won't fit.
Candles will fade if left in direct sunlight or spotlights for extended periods of time.
To extinguish a Candle, use a candle snuffer, or hold fingers in front of the flame and blow. This will prevent hot wax from splattering on furniture.
If a wick becomes too short to light, carve away enough wax to expose the fresh wick, then trim 1/4 inch off the top of the candle and burn the candle to reform it's appearance.
If wick moves off center, use a butter knife to gently push it back to center.
If soot builds up inside container, clean with a paper towel. Wipe over the cleaned area with water dampened paper towel afterward. Allow the container to dry thoroughly and TRIM YOUR WICK before relighting. Baby wipes work as well!
To remove Soy wax from washable fabrics, scrape off excess wax and run boiling water through the material.
