AM to PM Candle Care Tips

The First Burn is the Most Important! 🔥

When you light your candle, allow for the wax to burn for a whole hour. This creates a memory burn. The wax must melt entirely in order to create a wax pool. This will ensure that no tunneling occurs and will create an even burn.

 Keep your wick trimmed! ✂️

Try to ensure that the wick is 5mm long at all times. We recommend trimming your candle wick every 3 hours of burn time. When trimming, it is important to follow these steps:

✅Blow out the flame

✅Let the candle cool down to room temperature (for best results let the candle cool overnight)

✅Remove excess wick debris

✅Trim your wick using ‘wick cutting scissors'

✅Re-light your candle

The above steps will allow for a clean burn and steady flame. This will eliminate the chances of mushrooming and sooting from occurring. Avoid burning your candles for longer than 3 hours at a time. Once the candle has reached 3 hours of burn time, you should allow for the candle to cool down (approximately 2 hours) before relighting the wick.  

Putting out your candle 💨

It is beneficial to use a candle snuffer when putting out your flame, as this will ensure that the wick does not move around and avoids the chance of wax spilling. This results in a healthy wick and will maximise your next burn time.  

Spilt Wax Removal ❌

If candle wax is accidentally spilt, ensure the wax is cooled and hardened before attempting to clean it. Use a warm cloth to remove the hardened wax.

Maximising your Scent Throw 🌹

In order to release a long lasting scent throw in a room, it is essential to keep all windows and doors closed. Opening windows and doors will result in your candle producing a weaker scent throw.

How to Store Your Candle Properly ❗

When storing your candle over an extended period of time:

✅Ensure that it is kept in a cool and dry place, preferably at room temperature.

✅Avoid placing your candle in direct sunlight to prevent fading and discolouration.

✅Candles are sensitive to extreme temperatures (cold and heat), therefore, it is ideal to store them between 10-30ºC.

✅Do not leave candles in a car or a hot room for a long period of time (specifically on warmer days) as this may cause the candle to melt and discolour.

✅Storing your candle in extreme cold temperatures, leads to cracking and separation from the glass (frosting).

Wax Pool Fires 🚨

• It is important to consistently follow appropriate candle care instructions. Failure to do so, increases the chance of a wax pool fire. If the Wax Pool becomes over heated the candle may catch fire in the case of a fire.
• Do not keep anything flammable of that can catch fire near the candle. Never persist in picking up the candle or moving it while it is on fire.
