Candle Care

Candle Care 🕯️

Our candles are designed to be decorative & standout but if you would like to burn them please follow these simple tips to get the most out of your candle — and keep things safe and cosy.

---

✂️ Trim your wick

Always trim the wick to 5mm before lighting.
This helps prevent smoke, soot, and an overly enthusiastic flame.

---

🔥 First burn matters

Let your candle burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the vessel on the first burn.
This helps prevent tunnelling and gives you a longer, more even burn.

---

⏰ Burn time

Burn for 2-4 hours at a time

Avoid burning for longer than 4 hours

Extending burn time can cause overheating and smoky behaviour — and nobody wants that.

---

🕯️ Candle safety

Never leave a burning candle unattended

Keep away from children and pets

Always place on a heat-resistant, stable surface

Keep away from drafts, curtains, or flammable items

---

🌡️ Storage tips

Store candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Heat and light can cause discolouration or soften the wax.

✨ A little reminder
Because our candles are handmade, slight variations in colour, texture, or frosting are completely normal and part of their charm 🤍
