At Eleven People, we’d like to share some tips to help you get the most out of your candles.

• When lighting your candle for the first time, allow it to burn long enough for the entire surface to melt from edge to edge. This will prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn in the future.
• Avoid burning the candle for more than 3–4 hours at a time. This helps preserve the quality of the fragrance and the candle’s lifespan.
• Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, fans, or open windows. This will prevent the flame from flickering or burning unevenly.
• Before each lighting, trim the wick to about 5 mm. This helps prevent black smoke and keeps the flame controlled and clean.
• To properly extinguish your candle, it’s best to use a glass snuffer, which will prevent smoke. Eleven People’s glass snuffers also make your candles look even more elegant.
