How are Rhode Island Red Candles made? 

We have always valued quality over quantity. Rhode Island Red Candle Makers is truly small batch. Prior to use, each jar is inspected for damage or cracks. Once inspected the wick is secured. The candles are then hand poured in batches of 5. Individually hand pouring each candle in small quantities means that every one is created with the same care. 

What is used to make the candles and wax melts? 

We want to bring fragrances to homes that not only smell wonderful, but that are safe for you and your families. All of our candles and wax melts are made using 100% soy wax and clean fragrances free of harmful toxins, phthalates and parabens. Read about everything used in the making of Rhode Island Red Candles here.   

How do I care for my candle? 

We want you to get the best life from your candle! A full life requires proper care. You can read all about how to care for your candles here.    

How do I burn my candle for the first time? 

• The first time you burn your candle, allow the candle to burn for at least 3 hours but not longer than 4 hours.
• Make sure the wax has melted all the way to the sides of the jar.
• Before each burn, be sure to trim the wick ¼”. This will help the candle to burn evenly and cleanly.
• Placing the cover on your candle when it’s not in use will help extend the life of the scent. 
• Always follow our Candle Safety Guidelines so you can enjoy your candles with peace of mind.  

How many wax melts should I use? 

We recommend using 1-2 wax melts, however, if you prefer 3 or 4, make sure that the melted wax does not overflow the wax dish! 

How often should I replace my wax melts? 

Depending on use, the fragrance from the wax melts can last anywhere from 1-4 weeks. Replace the wax when you find the fragrance beginning to fade!

Do I need to use a flip dish to hold my wax melts? 

While a flip dish is not required, we highly recommend them! Made of flexible silicone, you can easily pop out the old wax once dried, quickly wipe any excess residue and place new wax melts in! You can shop wax melt flip dishes here.
