Care Guide
Getting the Most from Your Candle
A little care goes a long way. Follow these tips to maximise burn time, scent throw, and safety.
1. The First Burn Matters
The first time you light your candle, let it burn until the melt pool reaches the edge of the jar. This usually takes 2–3 hours. This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn every time.
2. Trim Your Wick
Before every burn, trim the wick to approximately 5mm. This reduces soot, prevents the flame from getting too large, and helps your candle burn longer and cleaner.
3. Burn Time Limits
Don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Burning longer can cause the wick to “mushroom” and produce excess soot. Let it cool for at least 2 hours before relighting.
4. Avoid Draughts
Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from draughts, vents, and ceiling fans. Moving air causes uneven burning, dripping, and reduced scent throw.
5. Safety First
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, and flammable materials. Stop burning when 10mm of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.
Wax Melt Care
Place one or two wax melt pieces in a tealight burner or electric warmer. Each clam shell provides approximately 60+ hours of fragrance. When the scent fades, simply replace with fresh pieces. Never add water to your burner.
Reed Diffuser Care
Place on a stable surface away from direct sunlight. Flip the reeds every few days for a stronger scent throw. Our 200ml diffusers provide 6+ months of continuous fragrance with no flame needed.
