Candle Care! 

Taking care of your candles not only makes them last longer but also keeps your space safe and smelling divine. Here's how to love your candles the Styles Scents way:

1. Trim the Wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to around 1/4 to the wick. This helps prevent smoking, uneven flames, and sooting.

2. Let It Burn (the right way!)
The first time you light your candle, let it burn until the wax melts all the way to the edge—this helps avoid tunneling and ensures an even burn each time.

3. Don’t Overdo It
Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Long burns can lead to overheating and wasted wax.

4. Stay Safe
Keep candles away from drafts, children, pets, and anything flammable. Always place on a heat-resistant surface and never leave a burning candle unattended.

5. Stop Before It’s Gone
When your candle has about 1cm of wax left at the bottom, it’s time to retire it. Burning beyond this point can cause the container to overheat or crack.

 

Wax Melt Care! 

 Here’s how to care for your melts the Styles Scents way:

  1. Use the Right Burner
    Make sure you're using a proper wax melt burner—either electric or a tealight burner designed specifically for wax melts.                                                                2. Don't Overfill
    Add just enough wax to cover the dish without overflowing. A little goes a long way, and it’s easier to clean when you use the right amount.

3. Keep It Clean
Before adding new wax, make sure your burner dish is clean and free from old residue. This keeps scents fresh and burners in top condition.

4. Changing Scents? Here’s How:
Once the scent has faded, let the wax cool and harden. Then gently pop it out (you can warm it slightly if needed to loosen it) or soak it up with cotton pads while it’s still liquid—whichever works best for you. (we sell wax melt filters 

5. Safety First
Never leave your burner unattended while in use, and always keep it on a flat, heatproof surface away from little hands, pets, and anything flammable.

Wax Burner Care! 

Your wax burner does all the heavy lifting when it comes to melting those dreamy scents—so a little love goes a long way! Here’s how to take care of your burner the Styles Scents way:

1. Clean Between Melts
After each use, remove any leftover wax before adding a new scent. Let the wax cool and harden, then gently remove it. A wipe with a damp cloth helps keep the dish clean and fresh.

2. Burn Responsibly
If you're using a tealight burner, only use unscented 4-hour tealights. Anything stronger or longer-burning can overheat your burner and cause damage or safety risks.

3. Avoid Overheating
Never use multiple tealights at once or leave a burner on for extended periods. Overheating can crack the dish or reduce your burner’s lifespan.

4. Handle With Care
Burners are often ceramic or glass—both beautiful and breakable! Always place on a flat, heatproof surface and never move the burner while hot.

5. Check for Cracks
Before each use, inspect your burner for any cracks or damage. If it’s chipped or worn, it’s time to replace it for safety reasons.

 

Looking after your candles, wax melts, and burners doesn’t just protect your space—it helps you enjoy every last bit of beautiful fragrance the way it was meant to be. With a little care and attention, you’ll get cleaner burns, longer-lasting scents, and peace of mind knowing you’re using everything safely.

At Styles Scents, we want every scent moment to feel special—so treat your products with love, and let the aroma do the rest. 💖

Stay safe, burn smart, and enjoy the magic of scent.
