Caring for your candles
-
Trim the wick
Before lighting your candle each time, use a candle wick trimmer to cut the wick to 6mm, revealing a clean, unblemished wick.
-
Set the memory
On the first burn, let the candle burn pool (wet wax) go to the edge of the candle vessel or candle. Start burning the candle for one hour for every 2.5cm diameter the first time it is lit. This will maximise the burn pool and avoid creating a tunnel/crater.
-
Avoid draughts
For a cleaner brighter burn always light your candles in a well ventilated room away from draughts, vents, fans or strong air currents.
-
Extinguish the flame
Dinner and Taper candles should have the flame extinguished 2cm before the “crown” of the candle. Soy jar candles and pillar candles should cease to be used when there is 1cm of wax remaining. A candle snuffer is the perfect tool to extinguish candles. Simply lower over a flame until it extinguishes.

Storage tips
Candles are sensitive to temperature and light. Prevent your pillar candles from fading, cracking or melting by storing them upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, dust and fluorescent light.
