What safety measures should I follow when burning Madame Boujee candles?

At Madame Boujee, your safety is our priority. Here are essential candle safety tips to follow for a safe and enjoyable experience:

1. **Trim the Wick**: Always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting. This helps prevent uneven burning, dripping, and excessive flaring.

2. **Burn Time**: To avoid overheating, do not burn any candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool for at least 2 hours before relighting.

3. **Proper Placement**: Place candles on stable, heat-resistant surfaces. Keep them away from flammable objects and drafts to prevent unintended fires.

4. **Supervision**: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always extinguish the candle if you leave the room or before going to bed.

5. **Child and Pet Safety**: Keep candles out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidental knocks or burns.

6. **Extinguishing**: Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the candle. Avoid splashing hot wax by never using water to extinguish.

By following these guidelines, you can safely enjoy the luxurious ambiance that Madame Boujee candles bring to your space.

Recycling your Madame Boujee candle

Recycling candle jars is a sustainable practice that not only reduces waste but also repurposes beautiful glass containers for various uses. Once you've enjoyed your candle, let the wax cool and harden, then carefully remove any remaining wax by freezing the jar or using hot water. After cleaning, you can transform the jar into functional items like a stylish planter, a storage container for office supplies, or even a decorative piece for organizing kitchen utensils. By giving candle jars a new life, you help minimize environmental impact while embracing creativity in your home.

How to care for your Madame Boujee candles?

To ensure that your candles from Madame Boujee retain their quality and longevity, follow these essential preservation tips:

1. **Store in a Cool, Dark Place**: Keep your candles away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Excessive heat can cause the wax to soften, discolor, or even melt. A cool, dark drawer or cabinet is ideal for storage.

2. **Keep the Lid On**: If your candle came with a lid, always make sure to replace it after each use. This helps to keep dust and debris from settling on the wax and maintains the candle's fragrance by sealing it when not in use.

3. **Trim the Wick**: Before lighting your candle each time, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. A shorter wick helps to create a clean, even burn and prevents excessive soot and smoke.

4. **Avoid Drafts**: When burning your candle, place it in an area free from drafts, vents, and fans. Drafts can cause the flame to flicker, which leads to uneven burning and tunneling.

5. **First Burn is Crucial**: Allow the candle to burn long enough the first time you light it to achieve a full melt pool (when the wax melts all the way to the edges of the container). This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn in the future.

6. **Limit Burn Time**: Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. This helps to prevent the wick from becoming too long and creating a larger flame than is safe.

​7. **Store Properly**: When not in use, store the candle in a cool, dry place and keep the lid on to preserve its fragrance.

By following these tips, you can enjoy your Madame Boujee candles to their fullest, ensuring they provide a beautiful ambiance and fragrance for as long as possible.

How long will a Madame Boujee candle burn for?

When burned properly, our 300-gram candle can last up to 70 hours. To achieve maximum longevity, consider the following factors:

  1. **Candle Maintenance**: Ensure that the wicks are trimmed correctly and centered before each use. This practice promotes an even burn and reduces soot production.

  2. **Burn Duration**: Extended burn sessions can create a deeper melted wax pool, which may lead to faster evaporation. It's best to adhere to recommended burn times.

  3. **Candle Placement**: Position your candle away from air-conditioned areas or drafts, as these conditions can negatively impact burn times.

  4. **Candle Age**: Keep in mind that older candles may not perform as well as newer ones.

To make the most of your candles, we recommend following the burning instructions. Enjoy your candle experience!

When do you stop burning a Madame Boujee candle?

We recommend stopping the burning of your candle when 10mm of wax remains. This precaution is necessary because if the wax level falls below this point, there may not be enough wax to absorb the heat generated by the flame. As a result, the glass can become excessively hot, potentially leading to cracking or other damage. By stopping at the 10mm mark, you can help ensure the safe and enjoyable use of your candle.
