Candle Care 101: How to Get the Most from Your BkBadness $ Co. Candles

At BkBadness & Co. LLC, every candle is hand-poured with love, luxury, and a touch of Brooklyn-Caribbean spirit. To make sure you enjoy every flame to the fullest, we’re sharing our essential tips for caring for your coconut apricot wax candles.

1. Trim Your Wick

Before each burn, trim your wooden wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps ensure a clean, even flame and prevents excessive soot or mushrooming.

2. Let It Pool

During your first burn, allow the candle to melt across the entire surface. This prevents tunneling and helps the candle burn evenly for its lifetime.

3. Burn in 3-4 Hour Intervals

For optimal performance, burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time. This helps maintain an even wax pool and protects your wooden wick.

4. Keep It Draft-Free

Place your candle away from drafts, fans, or air conditioners. This helps prevent uneven burns and flickering flames.

5. Store Properly

When not in use, cover your candle with its lid (if applicable) and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its fragrance and wax integrity.
