CANDLE CARE

Wooden wicks are a bit different from traditional cotton wicks – they burn longer, cleaner, and have a cozy crackling ambiance. To get the most out of your Dolce Vinci candles, please follow our tips and tricks for the most optimal candle experience:

​

• Make sure your wick is trimmed to 3/16”-1/4” before lighting, removing all charred wood from previous burns. You can gently snap off the ash or the burned section along the top edge and then light as usual (we suggest using a wick trimmer).

​

• Make sure to allow the wax to melt across the entire diameter of your candle on the first burn. This prevents the candle from tunneling and ensures the candle burns evenly and you get the most from your candle.​

​

• If you notice the flame getting too low when burning the candle for a long period of time, it may be necessary to extinguish the flame and when cool tap off any excess charred wood along the top of the wick. The flame will return to its proper height.

​

• Be careful to not let any debris from the wick (or anything else!) fall into the candle.

​

• Do not burn any candle for longer than 4 hours at a time.

​

• Follow all candle safety guidelines.
