Candle Tips

We are often asked how to get the best possible burn from a candle. A few simple habits can make a big difference.

First burn

For the best result, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edge of the jar before extinguishing the candle.

This helps create an even melt pool and can reduce tunnelling.

Between burns

Allow the wax to cool and fully solidify before relighting.

Trim the wick between uses and keep it no longer than 1 cm.

Removing any loose carbon or wick debris before relighting can also help keep the flame steady.

Burn time

Do not burn your candle for longer than three hours at a time.

If you want to relight it, allow the wax to cool and solidify first.

Keep it safe

Always read the Safety Label on the base of your candle before use.

Place your candle on a stable, flat and heat resistant surface.

Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from children, pets and flammable materials.
