Setting Up Your Candles

Trim the Wick: Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch to prevent sooting and uneven burning.
We also include custom-made 10 cm matchsticks with every candle purchase, providing a convenient and eco-friendly way to light your candles.
Lighting and Extinguishing Candles
Lighting and extinguishing candles may seem straightforward, but there are a few important things to keep in mind:
- Use the Included Matchsticks: Use the provided 10 cm matchsticks to light your Inara Candles Co. candles, keeping your hands a safe distance away from the flame.
- Allow the Wax to Pool: When lighting a new candle, allow the wax to pool and melt across the entire surface before extinguishing it. This will help prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn.
- Extinguish Properly: To extinguish a candle, dip the wick into the melted wax pool and allow it to cool completely before relighting.
Candle Safety
Safety should be the top priority when using candles. Follow these guidelines:
- Never Leave Candles Unattended: Always stay in the same room with lit candles and extinguish them before leaving.
- Keep Candles Away from Flammable Objects: Place candles on heat-resistant surfaces and away from curtains, papers, or other flammable items.
- Keep Candles Out of Reach of Children and Pets: Candles should be placed in areas where children and pets cannot accidentally knock them over or get burned.
