Applewood Candles are hand-poured in small batches in Michigan.  

A beautiful burn is a mindful ritual. With a few simple steps, your Applewood candle will glow cleanly, safely, and luxuriously - bringing calm to your space and care to the ones you love (pups included!).

Trim Your Wick (Every Time)

For a clean, steady flame and minimal soot, trim your wooden wick to ⅛–3⁄16 in before every light. Use our Applewood Wick Trimmer: open trimmer fully, rest the base on the wax surface, and snip. We like to trim from left-to-right and then right-to-left for a perfectly even surface.

Why it matters: an untrimmed wick can self-extinguish or burn too high.

If the flame is too high (over 1 in): your wick is likely too long or the candle is in a draft. Extinguish, allow the wax to fully solidify, trim, and relight.

Practice Safe Candle Burning

• Always trim to ⅛ in before lighting.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended or use it as a nightlight.

• Burn for 2–4 hours at a time; never longer than 4 hours.

• Let the wax fully solidify and allow the vessel to cool before relighting (allow ample time - about the length of an evening).

• Keep away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans, and open windows.

• Place on a level, heat-resistant surface (a marble or ceramic coaster is ideal).

• Keep away from clothing, paper, curtains, and anything flammable.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Stop using when the silver wick clip is visible or ½ in of wax remains.

• Burning multiple candles? Space them 6+ inches apart.

• Using an air purifier (hello, Dyson)? Great - just keep your candle out of the direct airflow for the most even, beautiful burn.

The Melt Pool (Your First Burn Matters)

For best results, let the melted wax nearly reach the edges of the vessel—usually 2–4 hours.
With coconut-soy wax, a full melt pool may not appear until you’re halfway through the candle’s life - that’s normal and often self-corrects, contributing to a longer, cleaner burn.

Never Burn Longer Than 4 Hours

Burn sessions of 2–4 hours keep your candle performing at its peak. Longer burns can overheat the vessel, dull the fragrance, and create unsafe conditions.

Quick Troubleshooting

• Tiny or sputtering flame: Trim to expose fresh wood and remove loose char before relighting.

• Tunneling early on: Extend your next burn (up to 4 hours) to encourage an even melt; avoid drafts.

• Soot or smoking: The wick is too long or the candle’s in a draft - extinguish, trim, and reposition.

Restyle & Reuse Your Vessel

When ½ inch of wax remains (or the wick clip shows), your candle has reached the end of its life.

To clean: carefully pour hot water into the vessel, let it cool so the wax floats and hardens, then remove. Repeat if needed. Wipe with a paper towel and wash with mild dish soap; let dry.

Reuse ideas:

• Makeup brush or cotton-round holder

• Desk catch-all for pens and paperclips

• Tea-light or match jar

• Small floral vase or succulent pot (add drainage stones)

• Bathroom canister for bath salts or swabs

• Entry tray for keys and keepsakes

Applewood candles are hand-poured in small batches in Metamora, Michigan, with clean, non-toxic, pet-conscious ingredients - always free from phthalates, parabens, Prop 65 chemicals, toxins, and carcinogens. Trim, tend, and enjoy the quiet luxury of a safer, more beautiful burn.
