Burn Bright. Burn Right: The LUEUR Guide to Candle Care

So, you’ve got yourself a LUEUR candle that’s ready to light up your space with bold scents and style. But before you strike that match, let’s talk candle care—because giving your LUEUR candle a little love goes a long way in keeping it burning beautifully and lasting as long as possible. First things first: the first burn’s the charm! When you light your LUEUR candle for the first time, let it burn until the wax pool reaches the edge of the jar. This sets the candle’s "memory" (yes, even LUEUR candles have memories!) and ensures an even burn every time. And remember, a well-trimmed wick is your candle’s best friend. Before each burn, trim that wick to a neat 1/4 inch to prevent soot and smoke. Your LUEUR candle (and your lungs) will thank you.

Now, let’s talk burn time—because we know how tempting it is to keep that cozy LUEUR glow going all night long. But here’s the deal: avoid burning your LUEUR candle for longer than 4 hours at a time. If the flame starts looking a little too wild or starts dancing like it’s at a party, it’s time to give it a break. Extinguish the flame, let it cool, and trim the wick before re-lighting. And don’t worry if your LUEUR soy candle develops a flaky, crusty top after burning—that’s just a sign of natural goodness. Embrace the quirkiness, because that’s what makes your LUEUR candle so unique!

Lastly, let’s make sure you’re getting the most out of that delightful LUEUR scent. Our soy wax candles release their fragrance gently, so if you feel like the scent is fading, step out of the room for a bit and then come back—you’ll be greeted with that lovely aroma all over again. And remember, candle safety is just as important as candle care. Keep those wicks trimmed, watch out for drafts, and never leave a burning LUEUR candle unattended. With these tips, your LUEUR candle will be the star of the show—burning bright, smelling sweet, and keeping your space oh-so-cozy
