candle care
WARNING
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
-
Keep away from anything that can catch fire.
-
Always keep out of reach of kids and pets.
-
Don’t use water to put out a flame — it can cause the wax to splatter.
-
Make sure wicks are standing upright and trimmed to around 7mm before each burn.
-
Burn your candle for the right amount of time for its size — too short or too long can affect how it burns.
-
Stop using your candle when about 10mm of wax remains at the bottom.
-
Only move your candle once it’s completely out, cooled, and the wax is solid again.
-
Always burn on a flat, heat-resistant surface — the jar can get hot!
-
Avoid drafts, fans, or open windows while burning.
-
Don’t use the lid to snuff out the flame.
Candle Care Guide
-
Trim and center the wicks before each burn to keep the flame clean.
-
Keep the flame away from the sides of the jar to prevent overheating.
-
Don’t burn if the jar is cracked, chipped or damaged.
-
If your candle has more than one wick, light them all each time for an even melt.
-
Keep the wax free from wick trimmings and debris.
-
If you notice soot, blow it out, let it cool and wipe the jar with a clean cloth or paper towel.
-
Pop the lid on when not in use to keep dust away.
-
Use a snuffer to extinguish if you have one — or blow gently and evenly.
-
Burn time will vary depending on the scent, environment and how you care for it.
For Wooden Wicks
-
Always trim to 5–7mm before each burn — wooden wicks need to stay short to stay lit.
-
Pinch off the charred bits between burns (you can use a wick trimmer).
-
Let the melt pool reach the edges on the first burn to avoid tunnelling.
-
If the flame is too small, extinguish, trim off more char and relight.
-
Wooden wicks burn differently — a soft crackle is normal!
-
Keep away from drafts as wooden wicks are more sensitive to airflow.
