Caring for Candles
Our candles are made to provide you with hours of beautiful fragrance. To keep them looking and working their best (and safest), follow our tips to enjoy a complete scent experience and maintain the quality of your candle for longer.
How to get the most out of your candle
- Burn your candle for at least two to three hours on the first use. If you don’t, you run the risk of burning straight down the centre of the candle (tunnelling) and missing out on precious hours of fragrance.
- To avoid tunnelling ensure the melted wax reaches the edges during each burn.
- Trim the candle wick with a wick trimmer before each use to 7mm. If the wick is too long, it will put off soot and black smoke, plus burn faster.
- Do not burn continuously for more than four hours.
- Always keep the candle away from children and pets.
- Only burn on level, heat-resistant surfaces. Placing a hot candle on a cool surface like marble or glass may cause the vessel to crack.
- Keep the candle free of dust and foreign materials as these can dull the scent and cause problems during burning.
- Keep lit candles in view and never leave a lit candle unattended.
- Lit candles are very hot, so never touch the candle jar.
- Never burn the candle to the bottom of the jar. Stop at the last 10mm of wax to avoid overheating.
How to store your candle
When your candle isn’t in use, store it in a cool, dry place and replace the dust cover to protect the wax from dust.
Condensation on the surface of a candle is a sign it has not been stored correctly, or has been stored for too long. Wipe this away with a paper towel before lighting.
Storing candles for too long can affect the scent, so use your candle in a reasonable time to make the most of its beautiful fragrance.
