CANDLE CARE

Our Candle Care Guide

At Maison Rose, our goal is to provide you with a safe, luxurious, and unforgettable candle experience. To ensure you enjoy your candle to the fullest, please follow these candle care guidelines: 

Before Lighting the Candle

• Trim the Wick: Always trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use to prevent soot, uneven burning, and flaring.

• Clean the Wax Pool: Remove any debris, such as wick trimmings, from the wax pool to ensure a clean, even burn.

• Choose the Right Surface: Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to avoid heat damage or accidents.

• Avoid Drafts: Keep your candle away from vents, fans, or air currents to prevent uneven burning and dripping.

• Limit Burn Time: Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating the container and maintain the fragrance’s quality.


While Your Candle is Burning

• Never Leave Unattended: Always stay in the room while your candle is burning. Extinguish it before leaving or going to sleep.

• Do Not Move Hot Candles: Avoid handling or moving a candle while the wax is liquified to prevent spills and burns.

• Burn Safely: Stop burning the candle once only ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom to avoid overheating the container.

• Keep Candles Spaced Out: If burning multiple candles, space them at least 3 inches apart to prevent heat from melting one another.

• Monitor the Flame: If the flame is too high or flickering excessively, extinguish the candle, let it cool, trim the wick, and relight it.

• Mind the Surroundings: Keep candles away from anything flammable (e.g., curtains, furniture, papers) and out of high-traffic areas where they might be knocked over.

• Child & Pet Safety: Place your candle in a spot that’s out of reach of children and pets.


Extinguishing Your Candle

• Skip the Water: Never use water to extinguish a candle as it can cause hot wax to splatter or the jar to crack.

• Ensure It’s Fully Out: Double-check that the flame is completely extinguished before leaving the room.

• Let It Cool: Allow the candle to cool before handling it to avoid burns.

• Do Not Move It: Do not move the candle after it has been put out. Allow to cool before moving.


Pro Tips for the Best Candle Experience

1. First Burn Memory: On your first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface to the edges. This prevents tunneling and maximizes your candle’s lifespan.

2. Store Smart: Keep your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its fragrance and quality.

3. Snuff, Don’t Blow: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish your candle for a clean finish and to avoid splashing wax.
