Candle Care |
The first burn of your scented soy candle sets the burn memory.
Allow at least 4 hours for this, and DO NOT extinguish the flame until the wax has melted to the edge of the glass.
Note | The time this will take is dependent on the temperature of the room you are burning the candle in; a hot room will achieve this faster than a cold room
After the first burn...
Burn for a minimum of one hour but no longer than three hours at a time. This ensures your candle will always burn to the edge of the glass and minimises the chance of flooding the wick.
Maintenance |
After each burn, before the wax has set, re-centre the wick – this will help ensure an even burn.
Once your scented soy candle is cold, trim the wick to 5 mm and remove any debris, as this can cause smoke.
Keep your scented soy candles upright and out of direct sunlight. Soy wax has a low melting point, and some oils will discolour in sunlight.
Burning unevenly?
If your scented soy candle starts to burn unevenly, this is most likely from a draught. Turn the candle to even up the burn and then move to a different location, as draughts will speed up the burn time.
Safety First |
Never leave a burning candle unattended
Keep candles away from children, pets and furnishings
Stop burning your candle once it is 1.5cm from the base of the glass – failure to do so can result in the glass exploding
Do not place/burn your scented candle on a heated surface (i.e Heater/fire); this will speed up the burn time & could cause the bottom of the candle glass to overheat & potentially explode
If burning more than one scented candle at a time, leave at least 10cm between candles.
