Candle Care & Safety Guidance

Candle care
Before lighting your candle for the first time trim the wick to 5mm.

This will help the candle have a steady flame, burn more evenly and reduces sooting and mushrooming of the wick.

We suggest you trim the wick after each 4 hour burn.

Lighting your candle
Always ensure your candle is free from debris and flammable objects before lighting.

Candles burn great in still air, but if there is a slight draught turn the candle periodically to avoid uneven burning.

When lighting your candle for the first time and to help achieve an even burn pool we suggest burning your candle for 4 hours.

Putting out your candle
Using a snuffer or spoon is safer than blowing your candle out, which can can lead hot wax or sparks flying.

It is important to check that your candle is fully extinguished.

Candle storage
To prevent dust or debris build up on your candle, after your candle has cooled replace the dust cover or candle lid. Store in a cool dry place to prevent cracking, fading and melting.

Keeping your candle covered will also preserve the fragrance of your candle throughout its lifecycle, ensuring you still have a wonderful scent throw during each burn.

Candle safety
Never leave a burning candle unattended or fall asleep with the candle still burning.

Never leave a burning candle in a child's bedroom and keep out of reach of children and pets.

Never burn a candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

Do not position the candle next to flammable materials, heat sources or electrical equipment.

Avoid burning candles where there is a draught which will often generate candle smoke.

Never move a burning candle. Wait until the wax has cooled and set before moving.

Do not burn candles completely. Discard after they have burnt to 1/4 of an inch of their base or holder.

Do not use if the glass container is broken, chipped or cracked.

Avoid storing your candle for longer than 12 months from the date of purchase, after this point candles can diffuse and burn less than expected.
