Candle Care
Although our candles bring relaxation, memories and comfort, their open flame can be hazardous when not monitored properly. We want to make sure that you burn your candles happily and safely, so please read the guidelines we’ve outlined for you below.
To Know List
Before Burning
-
Prior to burning your candle, trim the wick at least 1 Cm. This prevents uneven burning, dripping or flaring
-
Avoid drafts, vents or air currents. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, sooting, and excessive dripping.
-
Burn for 2-3 hours each time you light the candle. This will help the candle burn evenly, and remember to trim wicks before each burn
while Burning
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended or lit while sleeping. If you are going to leave the room or go to bed, be sure to extinguish all candles first.
-
Never touch or move a burning candle. Never move a candle container when the wax is liquified.
-
If burning multiple candles, place each candle at least three inches apart from one another. This is to ensure they don’t melt one another, or create their own drafts.
-
Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.
When Extinguishing
-
Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle, if available, as it’s the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.
-
Do not use water to extinguish a candle, this can cause the hot wax to splatter and could break a glass container.
-
Before leaving the room, make sure your candle is completely out and there is no glow coming from the wick ember.
-
Do not touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled.
Reuse once done
Our beautifully crafted candles are carefully scented throughout and sit wonderfully in the home. Once finished, why not reuse your pot into a planter, a vase, or a pen pot,
