To get the best out of your Sprig Breathe scented candle, here's what you need to do. First, trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting to reduce sooting. Don't burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. If you want to light it again, wait at least 2 hours. For the best burning experience, let the candle burn until there's a full melt pool. Avoid burning the candle in a drafty area or while you're sleeping. The candle box and jar are recyclable. Before recycling, clean and rinse the jar. You can also reuse it as a pen holder, flower vase, or anything else you like. Just make sure to follow all local recycling rules.
