Ensure your first burn is at least two hours long to avoid tunnelling.
Let the wax melt all the way to the edge.
Try to resist the urge to burn for more than four hours.
As general housekeeping, you should trim the wick to make sure there’s an even burn and you’re not left with an unruly flame.
We suggest trimming between 5-7mm if you see the wick clumping or ‘mushrooming’ at the top.
Recentring your wick may sound like an odd thing to do, but it is just as important as trimming the wick and carrying out the first burn. It is important that you recentre the wick once the wick itself has cooled, but the wax is still soft, otherwise it won’t move! If you have a wick which is off-centre, this could lead to complications with your candle such as an uneven burn or black soot on the side of the vessel. Burning the candle for too long can cause the wick to become off-centre which isn’t uncommon, but make sure to recentre to get a cleaner burn next time.
Do not burn the candle if there is less than 1cm of wax.
Never leave the burning candle unattended.
Store the candle in a cool and dry place.
Keep out of direct sunlight as this could cause discolouring and potentially affect the wax as may melt in the heat.
