Candle Care Tips for Your Kawaii Wax Melts and Candles 🕯️🌸

Lighting a candle or melting wax should feel like pure magic — and with a few simple care tips, you can make your MinnyWicks goodies last even longer (and burn even cuter)! 🌟✨

Here's everything you need to know to keep your kawaii candles and wax melts looking, smelling, and glowing their best.

 

✨ 1. First Burn = Most Important Burn

When you light your MinnyWicks candle for the first time, let it melt all the way across the surface before blowing it out! 🕯️

• This creates a full melt pool and prevents "tunneling."

• Tunneling is when the candle burns down the middle, leaving wasted wax on the sides.

• Pro Tip: Give your candle 2–3 hours for the first burn if you can. Cozy up with your favorite manga while you wait! 🌟📺

 

✂️ 2. Keep Your Wick Trimmed

Before each burn, trim the wick to about ¼ inch.

• A short wick = cleaner burn, less soot, and a safer flame.

• It also helps your candle last longer and burn brighter!

• Bonus tip: Cute pastel wick trimmers exist — match them to your gaming setup! 🎮✨

 

🌸 3. Candle Placement Matters

Where you place your candle makes a big difference!

• Always use a heat-safe, stable surface.

• Keep away from drafts (like fans, AC vents, or open windows) to avoid uneven burning.

• Safety Reminder: Don't place candles too close to your adorable plushies or character shrines! 🧸🔥

 

🌟 4. How to Get the Most Out of Your Wax Melts

Our kawaii wax melts are just as magical as our candles! Here's how to enjoy them to the fullest:

• Use an electric wax warmer for the safest, most consistent results.

• Start with 1–2 bar sections depending on your warmer's size.

• When the scent fades after a few days, let the wax fully cool, then gently pop it out.

• Bonus tip: For easy cleaning you can use a silicone wax cup or cupcake liner to reduce clean up.

 

🧼 5. Storing Your Candles and Melts

Keep your MinnyWicks collection fresh and vibrant! 🌸

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Sunlight can fade those dreamy pastel colors over time or cause "frosting"! 🌞

• Frosting is when the sides of the wax looks like its frosted over. This is just an aesthetic inconvenience.

• Keep lids on candles when not in use to preserve the scent magic longer.

• Store wax melts in their original packaging to keep their fragrance cozy and strong.

 

Taking a little extra care makes your MinnyWicks candles and wax melts even more magical! 🌟 Longer burns, brighter scents, and the ultimate cozy experience await. Thank you for loving handmade magic as much as we do!
