At Aurora House, we hand-pour every candle with care — and we want you to enjoy every last flicker. Follow these simple tips to get the best burn, protect your home, and keep your vessels looking beautiful.
Candle Care Guide
Burning Tips
-
Keep wick trimmed to ¼ inch before each burn to reduce soot and ensure an even flame.
-
Allow the wax to melt completely to the edges on the first burn to prevent tunneling.
-
Limit each burn to 2–4 hours for best results and to preserve vessel integrity.
-
Keep candles away from drafts and on a heat-safe surface.
SafetyTips
-
Always extinguish candles when leaving the room or going to sleep.
-
Store and burn out of reach.
-
Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains to avoid overheating the vessel.
Storage & Care
Keep your candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to preserve fragrance. If your candle comes with a lid or dust cover, replace it between burns to keep dust and debris out of the wax.
Troubleshooting
-
Burn longer next time or wrap foil around the rim to correct the wax pool.
-
Wick is likely too long — trim slightly and relight.
-
Rotate candle occasionally if burning in a drafty area.
Reuse & Recycling
Once your candle is finished, remove the remaining wax by warming gently with a hairdryer or heat gun, then wiping clean with paper towels. Wicks and stickers can be removed easily — any adhesive residue can be loosened with mineral oil.
Your concrete vessel can now be reused as a planter, makeup brush holder, cotton ball jar, or catchall tray — or repurposed for your next refill kit!
