Harlequin Candle Care: The Secret to a Longer Burn
Nothing beats the warm glow and inviting scent of a hand-poured candle after a long day. We craft every Harlequin Candle with high-quality ingredients for a long-lasting, luxurious fragrance that fills your space.
Follow these simple tips to help your Harlequin Candles burn evenly, last longer, and fill your home with exquisite fragrance:
The First Burn: Setting the Stage
The first time you light your Harlequin Candle is the most important! Let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the jar before blowing it out—this prevents "tunneling," where the wick burns straight down, leaving wax wasted along the sides.
A full melt pool on the first burn sets the stage for an even, long-lasting candle burn.
Wick Care: A Little Trim Goes a Long Way
Think of trimming your wick like giving your Harlequin Candle a little self-care moment.
Before each burn, trim the wick to about 6mm—this keeps the flame steady, reduces smoke, and prevents that little "mushroom" shape at the tip of the wick.
✨ A well-trimmed wick helps your Harlequin Candle burn cleaner and brighter.
✨ It prevents flickering, soot, and excess smoke.
✨ And best of all—it makes your soy candle last longer!
You can use wick trimmers, sharp scissors, or even nail clippers for a quick snip. Just be sure to trim neatly to avoid fraying.
Lid Love: Keep Your Candle at Its Best
Unlike some other brands, every Harlequin Candle comes with a lid—because we believe in giving your candle the love and protection it deserves.
Why use the lid?
🧡 It helps lock in the fragrance when your candle isn’t in use.
🧡 It keeps dust and debris out of the wax.
🧡 It helps preserve the candle’s scent for longer by preventing exposure to air.
Quick tips: Never carry your Harlequin Candle by the lid.
After extinguishing your candle, wait for the smoke to clear before putting the lid back on to prevent condensation inside the jar.
Candle Safety: Burn with Confidence
Soy candles like Harlequin Candles bring warmth, ambiance, and a touch of magic to your home, but safety is key:
✔️ Always burn your soy candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
✔️ Keep your candle away from drafts, curtains, and anything flammable.
✔️ Never leave a burning candle unattended.
✔️ Keep out of reach of children and pets.
A well-loved candle is a well-cared-for candle!
