  • How do I keep a clean and steady burn?
    A general rule of thumb is to keep your candle away from a draft and always keep your wicks trimmed to about ¼ of an inch prior to being (re)lit! Make sure to keep your burn sessions limited to 3-4 hours and/or until the entire surface of the wax has fully melted. Last tip - never extinguish your candle with water!

  • Is your candle tunneling?
    Shorter burn times are the main cause of tunneling; the first burn is very critical, which is typically known as memory burn. Therefore, it's very important to burn your candles for at least two to three hours, waiting for the edges of the wax melt to fully pool before the candle is extinguished. Another approach is to only use a butter knife to scrape off some wax around the candle wick.
  • What are BLUES BAYOU do's and dont's?
    -Don’t forget to trim your wick! Your wick can begin to “mushroom” and create a large flame -Do not leave your candle unattended -Don’t burn for more than 3-4 hours -Do not extinguish your candle with water
  • Is your candle mushrooming?
    If the wax does not burn quickly enough to keep up with the wick, 'a mushroom' wick occurs, which results in the wick consuming the wax resulting in an accumulation of carbon particles on the wick. Trim the black 'cap' off and bend or 'curl' the tip of the wick to repair a mushroom wick. Mushrooming can also occur when a candle is burned for a prolonged period of time.
  • Experiencing soot around your candle?
    The easiest way to prevent soot and smoke is to keep the wicks trimmed and the candles free of debris. Whenever dealing with fire, soot can commonly accumulate within the glass, which is totally normal. However, it’s super simple to clean! After your candle has cooled, grab a towel with paper and some coconut oil and wipe around the perimeter of the glass, then boom, back to new!
