Care Philosophy

 

At NOT FOR, we believe a candle is more than just a product - it’s something special. Taking care of it keeps it safe, makes it last longer, and helps it bring joy to your space. Let’s make every moment with it memorable.

  • Trim the Wick

    Tip: Before each burn, trim the wick to 1/4 inch.

    Why: It ensures a cleaner burn, prevents soot, and extends your candle’s life.

  • Burn Responsibly

    Tip: Limit each burn session to 3-4 hours.

    Why: It avoids overheating and helps the wax melt evenly.

  • Keep the Wax Pool Clean

    Tip: Remove wick trimmings, matches, or debris from the wax pool.

    Why: A clean pool ensures a consistent and safe burn.

  • Adjust the Flame

    Tip: If the flame grows too large, extinguish the candle, let it cool, and trim the wick.

    Why: A controlled flame ensures both safety and elegance.

  • Choose the Perfect Spot

    Tip: Place your candle away from drafts, ceiling fans, or AC units.

    Why: This prevents uneven burning and maximizes the aroma’s diffusion.

  • Never Leave Unattended

    Tip: Extinguish the candle when leaving the room or before sleeping.

    Why: Your safety is always our priority.

  • Enjoy the Last Moments

    Tip: When 1/2 inch of wax remains, it's time to retire your candle.

    Why: Burning beyond this point may overheat the vessel
