Thank You For Supporting our Small Business! In order to create the Nyah's Candles aura, we ask that you take the time to read through our candle burning recommendations below. 

Candle Care

• Always burn the candle within sight. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never burn the candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Never leave a flame unattended. 
• Always keep your candle in a cool, dim and dry place.
• Remove all wrapping and decorations from the candle before lighting. Placing your candle where it will be exposed to direct sunlight may cause scent throw to dissipate if left for an extended period of time. Keeping your candle in direct sunlight may also cause your candle to melt due to the soft nature of the wax. 
• The first time burning your candle should last up to  3-4 hours in order to achieve a full melt pool. A full melt pool is when the surface of the wax is melted around all the sides of the vessel. This will prevent tunneling and encourages an even burn throughout the life of the candle. 
• Trim the wick(s) to ¹/₄ inch before every burn. Taking this step each time will encourage a steady flame and minimizes soot &/or the mushrooming of the wick.
• DO NOT burn any candle for more than 4 hours. Soot &/or mushrooming of the wick is likely to appear with candles that have burned beyond the 3-4 hour recommendation. If the flame smokes, extinguish the flame and shorten the wick after the wax cools. 
• DO NOT handle your candle while lit. Always let the wax cool and harden before relighting, touching or moving your candle.
• It is extremely important to keep the wax pool free of debris like wick trimmings and matches to avoid accidental fires.
• Keep your candle out of drafts so that you increase burn time, prevent uneven burning, avoid smoking, diminished scent throw and accidental fire.
• The last ¹/₄ inch of wax at the bottom of the vessel should never be burned. Failure to extinguish the flame can be dangerous resulting in shattered glass from the overheated vessel.

 

Maximizing Scent Throw

• Knowing the right size candle and what size area to burn is critical to achieving the right scent throw.
•  8 oz candles or smaller are perfect for small spaces. Ideally for bedrooms, bathrooms, or a hallway
•  9 - 15 oz candles are ideal for large spaces. Ideally for  kitchens, living spaces or dining areas.
• After extinguishing your candle and it cools, return the lid to preserve scent throw. This also allows protection from airborne materials.  

Extinguishing the Flame

• NEVER use water to extinguish a flame. Ideally, using a tool like a wick dipper or snuffer would achieve this. However, lightly blowing on the flame will do the job. Keep in mind, when blowing out your candle, do this carefully or you risk blowing some of the melted wax upwards, causing a mess or possible injuries. 

 

 

Wax Melt Care

• Never add water! Wax warmers come in different styles – some use tea lights or low wattage bulbs and some are electric.
• Always place your wax melter on a safe, stable flat surface and away from drafts or anything flammable.
• Remove the wax melt from the packaging and place the desired amount on the top surface of the warmer. 
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Follow any additional instructions provided by the wax warmer manufacturer. 
• If using a wax melter with a tea light don’t forget to extinguish the tea light candle.
• If using an electrical tea light when leaving the room – never leave them unattended. Always keep in sight. 
• Always keep your melts in a cool, dim and dry place. Placing your melts where it will be exposed to direct sunlight may cause scent throw to dissipate if left for an extended period of time. Keeping your melts in direct sunlight may also cause them to melt due to the soft nature of the wax. 
• Always use caution when handling the wax warmer. The warmer bowl will get hot while burning so do not handle while it is turned on. Always let the wax cool and harden before touching or moving.
• Never use warmer on or near anything that can catch fire. Never use heat from a stove or use any other non-certified wax melt appliance to warm your melts. 
• When the melting bowl contains less than ¹/₂ inch of  wax, either add another wax melt, or discard the wax once it cools.
• Do not ingest wax melts. Remember to wash your hands after handling.
• When the wax melt has cooled, it will solidify. You can re-use the wax until the fragrance has been consumed or remove the wax when solid.
