What is the best way to care for our candles?

Updated: Nov 14






Before Lighting

  1. Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to avoid damage.

  2. Keep Away from Drafts: Avoid placing your candle in areas with drafts, fans, or air conditioning to prevent uneven burning and soot formation.


While Burning

  1. Burn Time: For the first burn, let the candle melt across the entire surface to prevent tunnelling and create an even burn (approximately 2-4 hours).

  2. Safety First: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always burn within sight.

  3. Keep Away from Flammable Objects: Ensure the candle is at least 12 inches away from anything that can catch fire.

  4. Avoid Moving the Candle: Do not move the candle while it's burning or the wax is still hot.


After Burning

  1. Extinguishing the Flame: Use a candle top or snuffer to extinguish the flame. Avoid blowing out the candle to prevent hot wax from splattering.

  2. Let Wax Harden: Allow the wax to cool and harden completely before relighting, touching, or moving the candle.

  3. Storage: Store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fragrance and prevent discolouration.


General Tips

  • Burn within Sight: Always burn your candle in a well-ventilated room but away from drafts, other heat sources, and anything flammable.

  • Keep Candles Out of Reach: Ensure candles are placed out of the reach of children and pets.

  • Dispose Properly: Once the candle has about 1/2 inch of wax remaining, it's time to discontinue use. This prevents the container from overheating.
