Candle Care - Wood Wick

Instructions

Lighting Your Candle

  • It may take a couple of goes lighting your wood wick candle.
  • Ensure the whole wick is alight before moving the lighter, this may take up to 10 seconds.

Burn Time

  • To prevent tunneling and create a candle memory, the first time you light your soy candle let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the jar.
  • Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

Trim Wick Before Every Use

  • Always trim the wick before relighting.
  • Trimming the wick will help your candle stay alight, burn evenly and longer.
  • Trim by pinching the charcoal off the wick with a tissue.
  • It’s important to do this before each burn as the charcoal can cause the candle to go out.

Avoid Draughts

  • Candles burn best in still air but if you can’t avoid draughts, turn the candle periodically to avoid uneven burning and possible candle collapse.
  • A candle in a draught may also start to smoke.

Candle Storage

  • Candles are sensitive to temperature and light. Fragrances with a vanilla content may yellow if exposed to sunlight or fluorescent light, this is normal and does not affect the burning of the candle.
  • Store your candles in an upright position.

Putting Candles Out

  • It is always best to use a candle snuffer rather than blowing out to avoid wax splash.
  • This will help to maximise the candle’s burn time.

Keep The Burn Pool Clean

  • If you get any black at the rim of your glass simply wipe it away with a damp cloth, this may be a sign that your wick is too long.

Safety

  • Burn candle within sight
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets
  • Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire
  • Keep wick centred and trimmed to no more than 1/4" at all times to prevent excessive flame or smoke
  • Do not let wick trimmings, or other debris drop into wax
  • For best performance, burn until the wax melts evenly across containers, not exceeding 4 hours
  • Discontinue use when only 1/2" of wax remains in bottom
  • Never move a hot candle
  • Never burn a candle unattended or near a draught
  • Failure to follow instructions could result in a fire hazard or injury
