Trim the wick.
Before each burn, trim the wick to roughly 5 mm. A shorter wick helps reduce excess soot and an oversized flame.

Candle care,
without the lecture.
A few small habits help your candle burn more evenly, last longer and stay safer.
Let the wax pool.
On the first burn, allow the melted wax to reach close to the edge of the vessel. This helps reduce tunnelling on later burns.
Keep it supervised.
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it away from children, pets, draughts and anything that can catch fire.
Know when to stop.
Stop burning when about 1 cm of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel. Do not move the candle while the wax is hot.
Basically: trim it, watch it, and do not let the candle become the bad decision.
