Candle Care 101: A Quick Guide

Attentive Vigilance: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always keep an eye on your candle when it's lit.

Gentle Extinguishing: Avoid using water to extinguish a candle. Instead, use a snuffer or gently blow it out, ensuring no hot wax splatters.

Wick Maintenance: Keep the wick trimmed to around 7mm (1/4 inch) before lighting and after each use. This ensures a clean, even burn.

Safety Guidelines

  • Burn Time Awareness

    380g candles: Burn for 1 to 4 hours at a time.

  • Lasting Enjoyment

    Cease burning when about 10mm (1/2 inch) of unmelted wax remains at the bottom of the candle's glass.

  • Steady Handling

    Never move a burning candle. Ensure it's completely extinguished, the wax is solid, and the jar is cool before relocating.

Mind the Heat: The glass container can become hot during use. Always place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface.

Draft-Free Zone: Avoid using candles in drafty areas, near open windows, air ducts, or fans.

Safety First: Keep candles out of reach of children and pets, and away from flammable materials.

No Lid Snuffing: Do not use the lid to extinguish the candle. Instead, use a snuffer or gently blow it out.

Proper wick management and candle burning ensure safety, longevity, and consistent fragrance.

  • Burn Time Limits

    Be mindful of the candle's recommended burn time, especially for large candles. Overburning can cause excessive heat and potentially damage the container.

  • Avoid Overcrowding

    If you have multiple candles in close proximity, ensure they are at least 3 inches apart. This prevents heat from one candle affecting the others.

  • Store Candles Safely

    When storing candles, protect the wicks from dust and damage. Keep candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Trim Before Each Use: Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch (7mm) in length. This prevents excess smoke and ensures a clean, even burn.

Avoid Long Wick Lengths: Never let the wick become too long. If it exceeds 1/4 inch, it can cause soot, uneven burning, and flickering. Trim it if necessary.

Extinguish Properly: To extinguish the flame, use a snuffer or gently blow on the wick. Avoid blowing forcefully to prevent hot wax from splattering.

Use Wick Accessories: Consider using wick trimmers for easy wick maintenance. Wick trimmers are designed to trim the wick to the ideal length, while dipper tools can be used to extinguish and centre the wick.

Remove Debris: Before each lighting, remove any debris, such as burnt wick fragments or dust, from the candle's surface. This helps maintain a clean burn.

Wait for a Full Wax Pool: When you first light your candle, allow it to burn until a full wax pool forms across the entire surface. This ensures an even burn for future use.
