Burn Bright, Burn Right
Taking proper care of your scented soy candles means you can enjoy your favourite scents for many cozy moments to come!
For a safe and long-lasting burn, keep these simple candle care tips in mind:
-
Always extinguish before leaving the room.
Always extinguish your candle before leaving the room or heading to bed—it’s a simple way to keep your home safe and cozy. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and let its warm glow bring comfort without worry!
Enjoy the ambience and beautiful fragrance of your luxury soy candles with peace of mind. After all, the best scented candles are meant to be savoured safely!
-
Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Place your hand-poured candle on a sturdy, heat-resistant surface, keeping it safely away from anything flammable, as well as kids and pets.
This simple step ensures your candle burns safely, letting you enjoy its warm glow with peace of mind. Whether you love sweet, floral, or fresh scents, creating a safe space allows you to relax and savour every flicker!
-
Limit burn time to 4 hours.
Long-lasting candles deserve a little extra love to help them shine!
To maximise burn time and fragrance, aim for burns of up to 4 hours—this prevents overheating, protects the jar, and lets you savour your candle for longer. This is especially important for container candles, ensuring a safe, even burn every time.
-
Leave a little for safety.
To get the most out of your candle, stop burning when about 1.5 cm of wax remains—this helps protect the jar and lets you enjoy the fragrance a little longer. Plus, once your candle is finished, you can repurpose the container for something new!
It also prevents the risk of overheating or cracking, so you can relax and enjoy your candle safely.
Wick-ed Good Tips for a Perfect Burn
-
Ready to Trim?
Before each burn, trim the wick of your candle to about 6mm for a clean, even burn that maximises fragrance.
A shorter wick means a safer, more efficient burn with less soot, letting you enjoy your premium candle longer. Proper wick care helps you get the most out of every flicker, ensuring a delightful, lasting experience.
-
Got Tunnel-Vision?
Prevent candle tunneling by letting the melt pool reach the edges of the container during the first burn. This creates an even burn and ensures the scent lasts consistently throughout the life of your candle.
It's key to a clean burn and helps you enjoy the full, beautiful fragrance with every flicker!
-
Flame Too Big?
If the flame gets too high, simply extinguish it and trim the wick to about 6mm once the candle has cooled.
A large flame often means the wick is too long. Taking this simple step helps maintain your candle's quality and safety, prevents damage to the container, and keeps the burn clean with less soot.
-
Got a Soot-uation?
If you notice any soot, just wipe it away with a soft cloth after burning your candle. This simple step helps keep your candle looking great and your space clean and cozy!
-
Flame Out?
If the flame goes out, let the wick cool, then gently twist it to loosen any fibres before relighting.
If you're still having trouble, don’t worry! Simply extinguish the candle, blot any excess wax near the wick with a paper towel, and try again—it’s that easy!
-
Wick Off-Centre?
An off-centre wick can lead to uneven burning and affect your candle's performance. If you notice the wick is off-centre, simply extinguish the flame, let the wax cool slightly, and gently reposition the wick to the centre.
A tweezer or toothpick can make this easy. This simple step helps maintain your candle's beautiful aesthetic and ensures a smooth, even burn.
It's important to prioritize safety and proper burning techniques. With these simple tips, you’ll enjoy the full lifespan of your soy candles. After all, the best long-lasting candles should fill your space with warmth and fragrance for as long as possible!
