Candle Care

To ensure the best experience and the longest life for your Maison Calor candles, we recommend the following simple care practices:

Trim

• Before each lighting, trim the wick to ¼ inch to ensure a clean, even, and smoke-free burn.
• For best results, use the Maison Calor wick trimmer.
• Always place your candle on a heat-safe surface to protect your furniture.

Burn

• On the first burn, allow the wax to melt across the entire surface — this may take at least 3 hours. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn. (Some light “wax wall hanging” is normal.)
• After the first burn, never burn your candle for longer than 4 hours at a time.
• Discontinue use when only ¼ inch of wax remains in the vessel.

Center

• Keep the wick centered for an even flame.
• After each burn, gently adjust the wick while the wax is still soft.
• Upcycle

When about ¼–½ inch of wax is left, it’s time to retire your candle and repurpose the glass vessel.

• Remove any remaining wax by placing the candle in the freezer until the wax hardens it should pop out easily.
• Clean and reuse your glass as a keepsake, vase, or storage piece.

Beeswax Candle Care

Our beeswax candles require the same care as our other candles:

• Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use.
• Use a Maison Calor wick trimmer for precision.
• Always place on a protected, heat-resistant surface.

With just a little care, your Maison Calor candle will burn beautifully, filling your space with warmth and intention.
