PRODUCT CARE & STORAGE

Enjoying Candles, Wax Melts, and Wickless Candles to the Fullest

Introduction

Candles in glass jars with bamboo lids are more than decorative accents—they’re vessels of ambiance, memory, and comfort. Alongside our wax melts and wickless candles, these little luxuries can transform any room into a sanctuary of scent and soft light. To help you enjoy them at their best, we’ve gathered simple care and storage tips so your fragrances stay as enchanting as the day they arrived.

General Candle Care

• Trim the Wick
Keep your wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch before each burn. This helps your candle burn evenly, reduces soot, and keeps the flame calm and clean.

• First Burn Matters
Let the wax melt all the way to the edges during the first burn. This prevents tunneling and ensures a longer, more even burn throughout the life of your candle.

• Ideal Burn Time
Limit each burn to around four hours. Longer burns can overheat the jar and reduce fragrance performance.

• Extinguish with Care
Use a snuffer to gently put out the flame. Avoid using the bamboo lid—it can scorch or warp. Blowing out the candle may cause wax splatter or excess smoke.

• Let It Cool
Allow the wax and jar to fully cool before moving your candle. This prevents spills and protects the glass.

• Choose Safe Surfaces
Always burn candles on flat, heat‑resistant surfaces to avoid tipping or heat damage.

Wickless Candle Care

• Effortless Ambiance
Wickless candles pair perfectly with electric warmers. Simply place the jar on the warmer and enjoy flame‑free fragrance.

• Flame‑Free Comfort
Ideal for offices, dorms, or homes where open flames aren’t preferred—wickless candles offer safe, cozy scent without the worry.

• After Use
Let the wax and jar cool before handling. If needed, wipe the jar with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking fresh.

• Changing Candles
When the scent fades, allow the wax to reset before removing the jar. Avoid touching hot wax.

• Refresh the Scent
If the fragrance begins to soften, gently remove the top layer of melted wax. This exposes fresh wax underneath and revives the scent.

• Smart Storage
Store wickless candles upright with the lid on, in a cool, dry place. Keep them away from food to prevent scent transfer.

Conclusion

With a little mindful care, your candles, wax melts, and wickless candles become cherished companions-filling your home with warmth, fragrance, and memories for many cozy evenings to come.

Pet Safety & Peace of Mind

Your home is shared with the ones you love - paws included. At Black Lab Candles, we believe fragrance should make your space feel warm and welcoming without worry. While every pet is unique, these simple habits help create a comfortable environment for your furry companions.

• Keep Candles Out of Reach
Curious noses and wagging tails can get a little too close. Place candles on sturdy, elevated surfaces where pets can’t bump or brush against them.

• Never Leave a Burning Candle Unattended
If you step out of the room, blow out the flame. Even the calmest pets can surprise you with sudden bursts of energy.

• Choose Well‑Ventilated Spaces
A little airflow goes a long way. Good ventilation helps scents disperse gently and keeps your home feeling fresh for everyone.

• Consider Flame‑Free Options
If you prefer a worry‑free alternative, our wax melts and wickless candles offer cozy fragrance without an open flame — perfect for homes with playful pets.

• Watch for Individual Sensitivities
Just like people, pets can have preferences or sensitivities to certain scents. If your pet seems uncomfortable, simply move the candle to another room or switch to a lighter fragrance.
