Product Care Guide
Welcome to your guide for loving and caring for your Warmth by Little Red soy wax melts and candles!
We want your experience to be as cozy and delightful as possible, so here are some simple tips to help you enjoy every burn and melt to its fullest potential.
Caring for Your Soy Wax Candles
1. Trim Your Wick
Before each burn, trim your candle wick to about ¼ inch. This helps prevent soot, controls the flame size, and ensures an even burn. Use scissors or a wick trimmer if you have one!
2. First Burn Matters
When you light your candle for the first time, let it burn long enough for the melted wax to reach the edges of the jar. This helps avoid tunneling and allows for a full, even melt pool.
3. Burn Time Tips
Try to burn your candle for at least 2-3 hours at a time. Short burns may cause uneven melting and reduce the life of your candle.
4. Keep It Away From Drafts
Avoid placing your candle near vents, fans, or drafts. This keeps the flame steady and prevents uneven melting.
5. Extinguishing Your Candle
To avoid smoke and soot, use a wick dipper to gently push the wick into the wax and then straighten it, or blow out the flame softly.
6. Storage
Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve scent and prevent discoloration.
Caring for Your Soy Wax Melts
1. Use a Proper Wax Warmer
Only use soy wax melts in an electric or tealight wax warmer designed for wax melts—never burn them with a flame.
2. Don’t Overfill the Warmer
Place one or two wax melts in the warmer dish; overfilling can cause spills or reduce scent throw.
3. Melt and Replace
Once the scent fades or the wax is fully melted, let the wax cool and harden before removing it. Replace with fresh melts for a new burst of fragrance.
4. Clean Your Warmer
After several uses, clean your warmer dish with warm, soapy water to avoid scent mixing and keep your melts smelling fresh.
5. Storage
Keep your wax melts in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight to maintain their scent and shape.
