Why is candle care important?

It's important for our customers to know how to look after their candles properly in order to safely use their candles and ensure a longer-lasting, cleaner burn.

What are the three most important tips for candle care?

1. Keep away from children and pets.

2. Do not burn for longer than four hours.

3. Trim the wick to 5mm before use.

Are there any common mistakes to avoid?

Always ensure your candle is placed on a heat-resistant surface and away from draughts. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

How long should I burn my candle for?

For the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the container to prevent tunnelling. After that, do not burn for longer than four hours at a time.

How often should I trim the wick?

Trim the wick to 5mm before each use. This helps to ensure a clean burn, prevent soot, and maintain an even flame.

What should I do with the candle when it's finished?

Once only 10-15mm of wax remains, discontinue use. The container can then be cleaned and repurposed or recycled.
