Burn Bright, Burn Right
Treat your scented soy candles right, and you’ll be enjoying those cozy moments and lovely scents for much longer!
For a safe, long-lasting burn, keep these simple tips in mind:
-
Always extinguish before leaving the room.
Always extinguish your candle before leaving the room or heading to bed—it’s an easy way to keep your home safe while staying cozy.
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and let its warm glow fill your space with comfort, worry-free!
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 enjoyed safely! -
Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Place your hand-poured candle on a sturdy, heat-resistant surface, away from anything flammable, and keep it out of reach of kids and pets.
This simple step ensures your luxury soy 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 lets you relax and enjoy every flicker! -
Limit burn time to 4 hours.
Long-lasting candles deserve a little extra care to help them shine! To get the most burn time and fragrance, aim for burns of up to 4 hours—this prevents overheating, protects the jar, and lets you enjoy your luxury soy candle 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!
This 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 luxury 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 soy candle for longer.
Proper wick care ensures you get the most out of every flicker, giving you a delightful, lasting experience. To make trimming easier and more precise, check out our sleek wick trimmer—perfect for any candle lover. -
Got Tunnel-Vision?
Prevent candle tunneling by allowing the melt pool to reach the edges of the container during the first burn. This ensures an even burn and helps the scent last consistently throughout the life of your luxury candle.
It’s key to a clean burn, letting you enjoy that full, beautiful fragrance with every flicker! -
Flame Too Big?
If the flame gets too high, simply extinguish your luxury candle and trim the wick to about 6mm once it’s cooled. A large flame usually means the wick is too long.
Taking this simple step helps maintain your candle’s quality and safety, prevents container damage, and ensures a clean burn with less soot. -
Got a Soot-uation?
If you notice any soot, just wipe it away with a soft cloth after burning your luxury candle.
This simple step keeps your candle looking great and your space feeling 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 your luxury 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 cause uneven burning and affect your luxury 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 makes it easy! This simple step helps maintain your candle's beautiful aesthetic and ensures a smooth, even burn.
Safety and proper candle care go hand in hand. With these simple tips, you’ll enjoy the full life of your long-lasting soy candles—because the best candles are made to fill your space with warmth and beautiful fragrance, again and again.
