Candle Care & Insights
First Burn & Candle Care
Congratulations! Your dough bowl candle from Urban Muse is beautiful, smells divine and will elevate any space in your home. While you may be anxious to light your candle, only do so when you have at least two hours to let the candle burn for the first time. The first burn is critical to allow enough time to get a full melt across the top of the entire candle. I also recommend lighting all wicks for every burn. Never leave your burning candle unattended. Place candle on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts, children and pets.
Your dough bowl candle has wooden wicks to add a little crackle to the ambiance of your candle experience. Wooden wicks need to be trimmed between each burn. Please allow the candle time to cool and the wax to completely return to solid state, then remove the burned section of the wooden wicks. I prefer to do this by hand. Simply pinch the burned section of the wick and the wick will be perfect for the next burn. Discard the pieces remaining in your hand in the trash. You do not want the burned pieces in your candle. Only trim wicks that are NOT burning and have cooled.
Final Burn
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Our wooden dough bowls are crafted for beauty and function, but they can catch fire if the candle is left burning too low or unattended. Always burn within sight, trim the wicks and extinguish when one-half inch of wax remains. Place candle on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts, children and pets.
Repurpose or Refill?
