Candle Care
Mastery
Everything you need to know to get the most out of every Angel candle — from the very first burn to the very last flicker.
The First Burn Ritual
The first time you light your Angel candle is the most important. Follow these four steps to set your candle up for a lifetime of perfect burns.
Before lighting for the very first time, trim your wick to exactly ¼ inch (6mm). This prevents mushrooming, excess soot, and an oversized flame.
Use a wick trimmer or nail scissorsLight your candle and let it burn until the entire top layer of wax melts to the edges of the vessel. This is called a full melt pool.
Usually 2–4 hours for most sizesA full melt pool prevents "tunneling" — where the candle burns straight down the middle, wasting wax on the sides. This first burn sets the candle's memory.
Never extinguish early on first burnAfter extinguishing, allow the candle to cool completely and the wax to solidify before moving, relighting, or placing a lid on the vessel.
Wait at least 2 hours to fully coolTrimming is Everything
A properly trimmed wick is the single most important thing you can do to extend your candle's life, improve scent throw, and keep your burn clean and safe.
Know Your Candle
Every Angel candle size is designed for a specific space and occasion. Here's how to get maximum life from each.
Do's & Don'ts
A beautiful candle experience is a safe one. Keep these rules close every time you light up.
- Trim the wick to ¼ inch before every single lighting.
- Burn on a heat-resistant, stable, flat surface away from edges.
- Allow the wax to reach a full melt pool on the first burn.
- Keep the candle away from drafts, vents, and air currents.
- Extinguish with a candle snuffer to prevent wax splatter.
- Keep burning candles in your sight at all times.
- Store candles in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
- Stop burning when ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom.
- Keep away from flammable materials and surfaces.
- Allow the candle to fully cool before touching, moving, or covering.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended or while sleeping.
- Never burn for more than 4 consecutive hours at a time.
- Never use water to extinguish a candle — it can cause hot wax to splatter.
- Never burn near children, pets, curtains, or flammable objects.
- Never move or carry a candle while it's lit or the wax is liquid.
- Never place on glass, TV screens, books, or heat-sensitive surfaces.
- Never drop foreign objects (matches, wick trimmings) into the wax pool.
- Never burn in a completely sealed, unventilated room.
- Never use if the vessel is cracked, chipped, or damaged.
- Never re-use the vessel for food or drink after the candle is spent.
Diffuser Care Guide
Your Angel reed diffuser will fill your space with beautiful fragrance for months — with just a little know-how.
Place your diffuser in a high-traffic area where air movement is moderate — hallways, entryways, or near a doorway. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources, which degrade the fragrance oil faster.
Flip your reeds every 1–2 weeks for a fresh burst of fragrance. For a subtle, consistent scent, flip less frequently. For a stronger throw, flip more often — but note this uses the oil faster.
Always hold the reeds from the dry top end when flipping. Fragrance oil can stain surfaces and fabrics. Place a protective coaster or tray beneath the vessel to protect furniture.
Over time, reeds become saturated with dust and lose their ability to wick fragrance. Replace your reeds when you refill the oil or when scent throw diminishes noticeably.
Diffuser oils are not safe if ingested. Always keep out of reach of children and pets. If skin contact occurs, rinse with water. If ingested, seek immediate medical attention.
A 3.4 oz (100ml) diffuser lasts approximately 2–3 months. A 6.8 oz (200ml) lasts 4–6 months. Warmer environments and more reeds increase oil consumption and scent intensity.
How to Use Your Room Spray
Our alcohol-free, water-based room sprays are formulated to instantly refresh any space with natural fragrance. Here's how to get the best results.
Shake Well Before Use
Our natural formulas may settle between uses. Give the bottle a gentle shake before each spray to ensure an even, consistent fragrance release.
Spray Upward into the Air
Hold 12–18 inches from the surface and spray upward into the center of the room. Let the mist fall naturally. Avoid spraying directly onto fabrics, wood, or painted surfaces.
2–3 Sprays Per Room
Start with 2–3 sprays and allow the fragrance to settle before adding more. Our potent botanical formulas are designed to fill a room with just a few spritzes.
Do Not Spray on Skin or Near Eyes
Room sprays are formulated for air and soft surfaces only — not for use on skin, hair, or eyes. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Store upright in a cool, dry place.
Storing Your Products
Proper storage keeps your Angel products fresh, fragrant, and beautiful until their very last use.
Store all products below 77°F (25°C). Extreme heat softens wax and degrades fragrance oils, while freezing can cause cracking.
Cool & ConsistentKeep candles and diffusers out of direct sunlight. UV exposure causes wax discoloration, fragrance fade, and faster oil evaporation.
No Direct SunlightHumidity can affect wax texture and cause frosting on natural soy candles — this is cosmetic only and does not affect performance.
Low HumidityAlways cover your candle when not in use to keep dust off the wax and preserve the fragrance. A covered candle retains scent up to 30% longer.
