Product Care
Your complete guide to caring for your Moon Soul products
Welcome to the Moon Soul Family! 🌙
Hi there! I'm so excited you've chosen Moon Soul for your home fragrance needs. As a small business owner who hand-pours each candle and carefully crafts every product, I want to make sure you get the absolute best experience from your Moon Soul goodies. Here's everything you need to know to keep your products performing beautifully and safely.
🕯️ CANDLE CARE (Wood & Cotton Wicks)
First Burn is Everything!
- Wood Wicks: Burn for 2-3 hours on first use to create an even melt pool across the entire surface
- Cotton Wicks: Burn for 1-2 hours initially, allowing wax to melt to the edges
- This prevents tunneling and ensures you get the full life from your candle
Every Time You Light Your Candle:
- Trim wicks to ¼ inch before each use (yes, even wood wicks!)
- Wood wicks: Use nail clippers or wick trimmers to remove charred wood
- Cotton wicks: Trim with wick trimmers or scissors
- Remove any wick debris from the wax pool
- Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time
Safety First (Because I Care About You!):
- Never leave burning candles unattended
- Keep away from drafts, children, and pets
- Place on heat-resistant surfaces
- Stop using when ½ inch of wax remains
- If the flame becomes too large or flickers excessively, extinguish and trim wick
Troubleshooting:
- Wood wick won't stay lit? Trim it shorter and make sure you're lighting the entire length
- Soot on the jar? Your wick is too long - trim and clean the jar with a damp cloth
- Uneven burning? Burn longer next time to create a full melt pool
🧊 WAX MELT CARE
Using Your Melts:
- Use only 1-2 cubes in your warmer (they're potent & you don't want to overflow your melter!)
- Electric warmers work best with our coconut apricot wax blend
- Each cube provides 8-12 hours of fragrance
When to Change:
- When you no longer smell fragrance (usually after 12-15 hours)
- Turn off warmer, let wax cool slightly, then remove while still soft
- Clean warmer with cotton ball or paper towel
Storage:
- Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Our wax melts can last up to 2 years when stored properly
🌸 REED DIFFUSER CARE
Setup:
- Place all reeds into the oil
- Allow 24-48 hours for full fragrance release
- Flip reeds weekly for stronger scent throw
Maintenance:
- Replace reeds every 2-3 months for optimal performance
- Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources
- If oil level gets low, you can add a small amount of neutral carrier oil
Safety:
- Keep away from children and pets
- Place on protected surfaces (oil can damage furniture finishes)
- Wash hands after handling reeds
🚗 CAR DIFFUSER CARE
Installation:
- Clip securely to air vent
- Start with low fan speed to control fragrance intensity
- Position where it won't obstruct your view
Maintenance:
- Refill with our car diffuser oils when scent fades (usually 2-4 weeks)
- Clean diffuser monthly with warm soapy water
- Replace felt pad every 2-3 months
🏠 CARPET FRESHENER CARE
Application:
- Vacuum carpet first for best results
- Sprinkle evenly (a little goes a long way!)
- Let sit for 15-20 minutes before vacuuming
- Test in inconspicuous area first
Storage:
- Keep container tightly sealed
- Store in cool, dry place
- Shake before each use
💨 ROOM SPRAY CARE
Usage:
- Shake well before each use
- Hold 6-8 inches from fabrics/surfaces
- Perfect for linens, curtains, and upholstery
- Avoid spraying on delicate fabrics or electronics
Storage:
- Keep out of direct sunlight

- Shake if separation occurs (totally normal!)
