Getting the most from your candle

The first time you burn your candle, please make sure you burn it until the wax melts to the edges of the container (this may take up to 3 hours with one of our large candles).  If you blow out a candle mid way through its burn across the surface, the candle is more likely to burn down from where you last left it, creating a tunnel.  This could mean you lose hours worth of burn time in wax around the edges.
 

Burning a candle in a draughty area can cause uneven burning, a smoky flame and cause your candle to burn faster.
 

Trim the wick to about 5mm before each new burn, as this will make your candle last longer and help prevent any smoking.
 

Keep all lit candles out of the reach of children and pets.
 

Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire, such as furniture, curtains, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.
 

Never leave a burning candle unattended.
 

Don’t burn a candle for more than 4 hours as the glassware can get hot!
 

Ensure the candle is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. 
 

Do not burn a candle all the way down. For a margin of safety, it’s advised to discontinue burning a candle when 1 cm wax remains in a container.
