🚨 Save this so you don’t forget! 🚨
If used correctly our candles will provide you with a beautifully clean burn – soy and vegetable waxes perform differently to the more commonly used paraffin wax used in high street candles, so here’s some tips!
The first time you light your candle let it burn until the wax has melted right to the edge, failure to do so will result in your candle “tunnelling”. You know the one, when you end up with all the wax stuck up the sides 🙈
Keep your wick trimmed to 5mm at all times. The wick should be trimmed after every use. If your wick doesn’t appear to be burning very well on first lighting, extinguish the flame, trim the top of the wick and relight it.
Due to the nature of soy wax, light your candle for no longer than 4 hours at a time. Once extinguished the scent will still linger and fill the space. Keeping soy candles lit for too long can cause the candle to get too hot and burn off the fragrance too quickly.
We recommend using a candle snuffer. I know it sounds boujee, but it stops your cotton wick from going crooked and prevents sooting.
Place your candles on a lower surface (ie a coffee table) but safely out of reach of children or pets. This will help with scent throw, as heat rises and the scent with it, therefore the lower your candle is the more of the room it will fill with gorgeous fragrance.
EXTRA TIP! Place a wax melt in a hallway or at the bottom of your stairs if you want to fill your upstairs rooms with fragrance!
