Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to trim the wick?

 

Please do not trim the wick before first use. Every Oh Wow Candle comes pre-trimmed. Make sure to always allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to create a thin layer of clear wax all the way around the jar, this will maximize the fragrance and prevent "tunneling". After initial use, maintain the wick at 1/4 inch, or slightly longer. Keep wax free of any foreign debris. Never burn more than 4 hours at a time. Keep away from drafts. Only burn on heat resistant surfaces. Never leave unattended. Discontinue use when only 1/2 inch of wax remains. 

How long do our products last?

 

Unsure about which fragrances to try?

 

Every customer is different. While we aim to hear you say, "Oh Wow" with your purchase, what may be strong, or smell good to others, is variable from person to person. We have created Oh Wow Fragrance Flights to assist in the decision-making process! These 1oz sample wax melts, are available at a low cost, and in various quantities, to allow the customer to try a variety of different fragrances. 

Having issues with your candle?

​

We are sorry to hear you are having an issue with your candle purchase. Although candle lighting is rather intuitive, there could be several reasons for the candle not burning properly including: if the wick is cut too short, placed near drafts or under ceiling fans, placed on a non-flat surface, or when blown out before the entire top layer has a chance to liquify.
