How to care for your candles
Share
1. When lighting for the first time burn until wax melts across entire surface to the sides of vessel (this prevents tunnelling, and creates an even burn for the duration of the candle’s ‘life’) This may take up to 4-6 hours.
2. Trim wick to 0.5mmbefore each burn to promote an even burn, steady flame, longer lasting candle and limit sooting
3. To preserve the fragrance, do not burn your candle more than 6 hours at a time.
4. Trim the candle wick after each burn. This is very important to prevent the candles from smoking on the next burn or from burning the sides of the glass. We recommend trimming them to 0.5mm each time. Invest in a good pair of wick trimmers that will cut and remove the excess wick cleanly. Alternatively Nail clippers can be used.
5. If soot ever forms on the inside of the vessel, extinguish candle, wait for it to cool, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Trim wick and relight.
6. Please keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times
7. Extinguish the candle with a snuffer, or use a fire-resistant candle lid to cover the flame. Do not blow out.
8. Extinguish a candle if it smokes, flickers or the flame becomes too high. These signs indicate the candle is not burning properly and the flame isn't controlled. Let the candle cool, trim the wick, then check for drafts before re-lighting.
9. To maximise scent throw, burn in desired space for 60 mins with the door closed. Opening windows and doors will disperse scent.
10. Always store your candles in a cool, dark and dry place. Avoid placing your candles where they will be directly exposed to sunlight or harsh indoor lighting.
11. Remove dust and fingerprints from a candle by gently rubbing the surface with a piece of nylon or a soft cloth. The cloth can be dry or slightly dampened with water.
12. Do not burn your candle all the way down. Always leave at least 2cm wax at the bottom.
13. Always burn candle within sight and on a heat resistant surface
14. Beware of glass becoming too hot to touch.
