CANDLE CARE

Candle care is vital for maintaining the quality and longevity of your candles, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience with every use. By following these simple guidelines, you not only enhance the candle's fragrance throw and aesthetic but also minimise safety risks associated with burning candles.

     1. First Burn

Ensure you have up to three hours free for the initial burn. Let the candle melt until the wax reaches the vessel's edge to prevent tunnelling, ensuring an even burn throughout its lifespan.

      2. Wick Maintenance:

Trim the wick to 5mm before each lighting using a wick trimmer, scissors, or simply pinching it between your fingers. This practice prevents excess smoke, soot, and wick mushrooming, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient burn.

     3. Burn Time:

Aim to burn your candle for no more than three hours at a time to prevent overheating and prolong its lifespan. Extinguish the flame when there is about 5mm of wax left to prevent the vessel from overheating and causing damage.

     4. Storage Tips:

Since soy wax has a low melting point, store your candle away from direct sunlight and high temperatures to maintain its integrity and fragrance. Essential oils are also sensitive to light and heat, so proper storage is essential for preserving their potency.

     5. Safety Precautions:

Always supervise a burning candle and ensure it's placed on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, children, and pets. Never leave a candle unattended, and ensure it's extinguished properly before leaving the room or going to bed.

     6. Eco-Friendly Practices:

After enjoying your candle, consider reusing or recycling the vessel. Remove any remaining wax, wick, and adhesive sticker, then wash the vessel with hot, soapy water. 

Ultimately, prioritising candle care allows you to maximise the value and enjoyment of your candles while promoting safety, sustainability, and a more fulfilling sensory experience.
