How to burn

How to burn your candle: 

  • Trim the wick/s to 5cm before each use to avoid smoking and damage to the glass. Always light all 3 wicks for our 430g candles.
  • Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings and matches; they can cause your candle to burn faster.
  • Use your candle in a well-ventilated area, away from drafts and fans.
  • Burn your candle on a level heat resistant surface - use a plate or candle stand to block the heat and protect your table surface.
  • Always burn for 3-4 hours on the first burn to ensure an even melt pool.
  • After every burn, ensure the wick is upright, above the wax and central before the wax resets.
  • Ensure the wax meets the edge of the jar before extinguishing the flame to help your candle last longer and prevent your candle from tunnelling.
  • Burn for no more than 4 hours for our 1 wick 160g candles and no more than 3 hours at a time for our 3 wick 430g candles.
  • Use a wick snuffer when extinguishing the flame to prevent smoking.
  • Stop burning for the final time when 5mm of wax remains in the jar.
