Candle Care Tips
Want the most from your candle? Here is how to keep it glowing
1. First burn = most important
Let the wax melt all the way to the edge on the first burn (approx 2hrs).
Avoids tunnelling and ensures an even burn.
2. Burn time matters
Only burn your candle for max 4 hrs at a time. This helps maintain the fragrance and avoids overheating the jar extending the life of your candle.
3. Trim your wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to 5mm or ¼ inch.
This helps prevent smoking and soot build up.
4. Stay safe
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, drafts and anything flammable. Place on heatproof and stable surface.
5. Reuse your jar
Once finished. Clean the jar with hot soapy water. Use it for drinks, pens, plants or your next refill.
When you have finished your candle. Fill it with hot water and leave it to let the wax smelt and flow to the top. When it has cooled down it will be like a disk you can remove easily (as per picture above). Disregard the wax disk in the bin (it is biodegradable) and clean out the jar with soapy water, ready for reuse.
