A few things to know when looking after your candles…
Burn it.
After waiting for the perfect moment to light your candle it’s important you burn it until the whole surface is liquid wax. This will enable it to burn evenly and slower the next time you light it.
When burning after the initial burn, burn for a minimum of 45 mins and no longer than 3 hours.
Trim it.
Ideally, keep your wick trimmed to 5mm and if it ‘mushrooms’ nip it off. This will help give you a controlled burn.
After extinguishing the flame with a snuffer, centre and straighten the wick. Burning for too long can cause the wick to move, or slant. If you see a flaming wick come close to the vessel wall, extinguish the flame and straighten the wick to prevent the vessel from cracking.
