Candle Burning Instructions

Burning your candle correctly is extremely important in order to be safe and also to get the best from your candle.

 

• 1. Always let your candle burn long enough so that the burn pool (melted wax) reaches the edges of the container.  This ensures that the wax will melt down evenly, avoiding 'tunnelling'.  Please burn your candle for a maximum of 4 hours.
  2. Trim your wick before each burn to ensure a steady, consistent flame.  This avoids 'mushrooming'.
  3. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  4. Keep out of reach of children or pets.
  5. Always place on a heat-resistant surface/mat and do not handle once lit.
  6. Do not burn candles in a draught.
  7. Do not burn the candle all the way down.  Leave 5mm of wax in the container.
  8. Keep the burn pool clear and free of debris (e.g. match heads).
