The most important thing to do when burning
candles is to always keep wick trimmed. Indah Lilin
scented candles burn cleaner, longer and will disperse
the scent best if the wick is between ¼" to ½".
Make sure to trim the wick every time before you
burn the candle. If the wick is longer than ½", the heat
from the flame will cause faster evaporation of the scent. It's
best to keep the wick between ¼" to ½".

                                                          Our scented candles perform at their peak
                                                          when allowed to burn a minimum of 2 hours
                                                          at a time. The scent is best dispersed when the
                                                          wax melts to form a ½" to 1" pool.

How to trim your wick after burning your scented candle.
After your candle has cooled and the melted wax has hardened, it is safe to trim the
wick. Notice in the first image the length of the wick. It's too long and needs to be
trimmed.

FAQs
My candle is leaving wax on the sides of the container as it burns. Why?
This generally occurs when the candle isn’t allowed to form a uniform pool of melted
wax. “Tunneling” may occur if the candle is lit and then extinguished before the pool of
sufficient wax pool is created.

Check the wick length. If the wick is longer than ½ inch, it’s time to trim. Do not
attempt to trim the wick while the candle is lit. Extinguish the flame, trim the wick and
relight. It is best to check and/or trim the wick between ¼" to ½" every time before you
light your candle.
It is also important burn your candle away from any drafts. Drafts can cause the flame
to burn hotter, thus causing soot to appear.

What causes my wick to “mushroom”?
“Mushrooming” is carbon build up and is normal for scented candles. Indah Lilin uses
self-trimming 100% cotton wicks that help reduce the mushroom effect, however no
wick is able to eliminate the mushroom effect completely. This makes it essential that
you always trim your wick to ½ inch.

Recycling is important to me. Can I reuse the container after I have finished burning
the candle?
Yes, please do! Recycling is important to Indah Lilin as well.

You should remove any remaining wax from the bottom of the container. There are a
couple options to accomplish this.

Please be careful while removing the remaining wax,
whichever method you choose.

1) Use a butter knife and scrape around the edge of the remaining wax until you have
removed it all. Or,

2) Melt it by placing the container in your oven at 175 degrees until the remaining wax
has melted. Carefully remove the container from your oven; it will be hot. Pour melted
wax out, garbage can is recommended, do not pour the melted wax down your sink.
**Do not place container in the microwave as the wick is secured to the glass container
with a small metal tab.

With the remaining wax out of the container, soak the container in warm soapy water
for at least 10 minutes. The metal wick tab it secured with an adhesive that should be
easily removed after soaking. If after 10 minutes, the wick tab is not loose, soak longer.
Wash as you would any other glass. Now you can reuse the container as you wish.
