WHAT? There's a right and a wrong way to burn a ca WHAT? There's a right and a wrong way to burn a candle?!
There sure is. in fact, properly caring for your candle will prolong it's burn-life, keep the product cleaner and keep you satisfied as a customer. Below are 3 tips you can use to ensure you are taking the right steps for candle-care.

1. ALWAYS trim your wick: this is a key component in how your candle will burn over time. It is important to make sure you're trimming the candle wick to about 1/4 inches long, after every. single. burn. 
2.  Let the wax melt completely across the candle vessel: Candle wax has a memory in the pattern it burns, so it is crucial, especially during the initial burn, to let the wax melt completely across the diameter of the vessel (this should take 3-4 hours to achieve). Not letting it melt could lead to tunneling, which will not only give your candle an undesirable look but waste lots of good wax that is left untouched on the sides of the vessel.
3. Extinguish your flame with the lid: using your candle's lid to put out the flame will provide the cleanest burn, as it prevents excess smoke and soot by cutting off the oxygen supply.

About · November 27, 2022

Welcome To Gepford & Co

It’s been quite the long journey getting to this point. The thought of a candle company first surfaced between my husband and I back in 2018. Web were freaks to say the least over our respective candle collections, and so, after a couple of conversations about business ideas, decided to experiment. We thought that surely, there has got to be a way to create candles that smelled how we wanted them to, burned without soot ruining our walls, and weren’t all that bad for the environment either. What started with solid paraffin nightmares, evolved into soy lushness, which then took a step further into a blend of soy, coconut and apricot wax. We did it; we conquered the candle code and formulated the perfect blend (in our opinion, of course). Since then, I have been taking all too much time working on the marketing and logistics of actually getting our brand out there; making sure we are seen and have a competitive advantage over other respected candle-makers.

Needless to say, we could not be happier that you have chosen to embark on this journey with us. We have full intent of growing and expanding the Gepford & Company brand, and are here to answer any questions along the way. Until then, please check out our shop page, grab some smell-goods, and let us know how we did.
