Welcome to Me Time Moments, where we believe in the power of self-care and relaxation. One of our favorite ways to unwind and create a tranquil atmosphere is by burning wood wick candles. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to burn a wood wick candle properly for a soothing experience. Let's dive in!
Step 1: Choose the Perfect Setting Before you light your wood wick candle, select a cozy and safe space where you can enjoy it. Make sure there are no drafts, and place the candle on a heat-resistant surface.
Step 2: Trim the Wick Trim the wood wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting it. This ensures a clean and even burn, preventing excessive smoke and soot.
Step 3: Light it Up Use a long lighter or a matchstick to ignite the wood wick. Hold the flame to the wick until it catches fire. The crackling sound of the wood wick adds to the ambiance.
Step 4: Enjoy the Candle's Glow Allow the candle to burn until the wax melts evenly across the surface, creating a pool of wax. This
may take a few hours, depending on the size of your candle. It's essential to let the candle burn long enough to avoid tunneling.
Step 5: Extinguish Safely When you're ready to extinguish your wood wick candle, use a snuffer or gently blow on it to put out the flame. This prevents the wick from smoking and reduces soot.
