Candle Care

Before lighting your scented candle for the first time...

Always place your scented candle upon a level and inflammable surface.

Never leave children or pets near a lit candle without supervision.

Always allow your scented candle to set completely before moving it. Ensure that the wick is no more than 5mm long. If it is, trim down your wick with a wick trimmer or pair of small scissors.

Your first burn

When you first light your scented candle you should always make sure that you let it burn for as long as it takes to reach a full and even melt pool, meaning that it melts at the centre, from the wick, all of the way to the outer edges of the container. This may take a while so please ensure that you have time to allow this, although never allow your first burn to last longer than four hours.

Second and subsequent burns

Before lighting your second and subsequent burns, trim your wick to 5mm and ensure that no foreign objects are in the wax, such as wick trimmings or match remnants. Allow your scented candle to burn for up to a maximum of four hours at any one time and always allow your candle to cool and reset before lighting it again.

After your scented candle has given you hours of pleasure, it is always advisable to never let the remaining wax burn lower than the final 1cm in the bottom of the vessel as there is the possibility that the extreme heat produced could cause damage to the surface it is sitting on.

Factors that may affect an even burn for your scented candle are an untrimmed wick or placing your candle in a draughty area.

Extinguishing

Carefully blow out your scented candle or use a candle snuffer. Never use a candle lid or water to extinguish your candle.

The golden rule, and rule number one, every time...

NEVER LEAVE A LIT CANDLE UNATTENDED!

What Are Wax Melts?

Wax melts are basically a wick-less scented candle, they can be found in many different shapes and sizes and they are used in conjunction with a wax warmer.

Wax warmers are available in various forms such as a plug-in electrical warmer that contains a low wattage bulb in the base that is just powerful enough to produce the heat to slowly melt the wax sitting above it without the need for a naked flame. Standalone wax warmers have a small tea-light candle placed in the base using the flame to melt the wax above it.

When the scented wax begins to warm up and melt in the wax warmer or burner, unlike candles, the wax does not melt away. The fragrance contained within the wax begins to vaporise and fill the room just like any scented candle.
