At Set Forth NY, we want you to enjoy your candles safely and maximize their performance. Follow these essential tips to ensure the best experience.

Proper Candle Care

Many people don’t realize there’s a correct way to burn and care for candles. From trimming the wick to selecting the ideal burn time, small steps significantly enhance the safety, performance, and longevity of your candle. At Set Forth, we not only provide luxurious scents but also empower you with the knowledge to make your candle experience the best it can be.

TRIM THE WICK

Before every burn, trim the wick to 1/4 inch to ensure a clean and even burn, minimize soot, and prolong the candle's life.

FIRST BURN

Let the wax melt to the edges of the tin during the first use to prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn.

BURN TIME

Limit each burn session to no more than 4 hours to prevent overheating and maintain candle quality.

STORAGE

Store candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve their fragrance and appearance.

Safety Advisory

For the safest and most enjoyable candle experience, please follow these essential guidelines. Our candles are crafted with care, but proper handling and safety precautions are key to ensuring a safe atmosphere while burning them. Refer to the tips below for best practices.

STABLE SURFACE

Always burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable objects.

HOT TIN WARNING

The tin container may become hot during use. Handle with care, and avoid touching the tin while the candle is burning or immediately after extinguishing.

COOL BEFORE MOVING

Allow the candle to cool completely before moving or handling it to prevent burns or spills.

NO WATER

Never pour water into a burning candle, as this can cause wax to splatter.

AVOID DRAFTS

Keep candles away from drafts, vents, or open windows to ensure even burning and minimize soot.

SUPERVISION REQUIRED

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always keep it out of reach of children and pets.
