TOP TIPS AND GUIDELINES
The First Burn is the Most Important!
When you light your candle for the first time, always allow the wax to burn so that it melts across the entire surface to the edge of the container. This should take 3-4 hours.
This will effectively assist in preventing tunneling, and help promote an even burn for the duration of the candle's life.

Avoid light and hot temperatures
Candle waxes and fragrances are sensitive to both temperature and light, so try to be careful when storing candles. Try to always store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Keep your wick trimmed!
Try to ensure that your wick is always kept to 5mm long at all times. We recommend trimming the wick every 4 hours of burn time. When trimming, always extinguish the flame, let the candle cool down to room temperature, remove any wick debris and trim the wick before relighting.
Try to avoid burning candles for more than 4 hours in one sitting. We suggest that after burning a candle for 4 hours, you should allow the candle to cool for two hours before relighting.
Follow the half-inch wax rule
Always monitor the amount of remaining wax in a candle container. Once the wax falls below 1.5cm, discontinue use. The container can heat up when the flame nears the base of the jar and there is not much remaining wax. Following this rule will help prevent heat damage to the container and the surface surrounding the candle.
Putting out your candle
Try to always use a proper candle snuffer/dipper to extinguish your candles as this will prevent the wick from moving and wax from spilling. This will also assist in maximising your burn times.
Blackened Edges of Glass
If your candle glass starts to blacken with use, remember to keep the wick trimmed. Also, always wait until after the candle is extinguished and cooled before removing any black marks with a dry paper towel.
Maximising your Scent Throw
In order to maximise fragrance scent throw in a room, keep doors and windows closed and burn for 30 minutes. Opening windows and doors will help the scent to disperse.
Candles are meant to be enjoyed, but it is important that you follow some commonsense safety rules when burning them.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep.
- Follow the 2-foot rule - don't place a burning candle within two feet of clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable.
- Keep lit candles away from draughts, ceiling fans and any air currents. Any form of air current can cause uneven burning, smoking, diminish the scent throw and even decrease the burn time.
- Trim the wick to 5mm each time the candle is lit. This helps prevent the flame from getting too large.
- Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
- Place candle holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface that is sturdy and large enough to catch any melted wax.
- Always read and follow manufacturers' directions for use and safety, and extinguish a candle if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container.
- Place burning candles at least 10cm apart from one another.
- A burning candle should not be used as a nightlight.
- A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time.
- Do not burn the candle if the container is cracked, chipped, scratched or damaged in any way.
