Candle Care

To ensure optimum burning - we recommend following these guidelines:

• The optimum burn time for your candle is 2-3 hours - when the melt pool reaches the edge of your vessel. On your first burn, burn your candle long enough to allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges. This will prevent ‘tunneling’ and allow your candle to last longer.
  
  
• Always trim your wick before each burn to about 6mm to help create a clean burn and a controlled flame - nail scissors work perfectly or you can ‘nip’ the top of your wick off by hand.
  
  
• Keep away from drafts and always burn within sight out of reach from children or animals.
  
  
• Don’t burn your candle for longer than 4 hours at a time.
  
  
• Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid decolouration and softening of the wax.
  
  
• Burn times are approximate and will depend on burning conditions (i.e. drafts).
  
  
• When your candle has finished you can wash out your glass with hot soapy water and reuse or recycle.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• If you trim your wick too short, simply pour out some of the melted wax on to a ceramic plate and continue burning. The removal of wax should allow it to burn correctly and not drown out the wick.
  
  
• If your flame is too big once lighting, blow it out, trim the wick and then relight it.
  
  

• If your candle burns unevenly, rotate it to even up the burn or move to a different location incase of a draft. Drafts increase the burn time, making your candle not last as long.
