Safety Information and Care Instructions for Wood Wick Candles

Follow these essential rules and tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Thank you for trusting Operation Wax to light up your space!

Trim the wick to ¼”-⅛” and dispose of the trimmings before each use.* 

Make sure the wax is completely hardened before trimming the wick or moving the candle.

Never leave a lit candle unattended. 

Place on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

Don’t burn longer than 4 hours.

Keep away from Children and Pets.

Keep away from anything that could catch on fire (curtains, papers, etc.).

*Tip: To easily trim your wood wick without a wick trimmer, tip the candle over a garbage can and flick off the burnt wood. Make sure your candle is completely cooled and the wax is solid before trying this trimming method.
