Burning Tips

These are the golden rules to get the most out of your candles whilst ensuring safety:

• Never ever leave a candle burning unattended, you just can't ever be too sure with an exposed flame.

• Never leave lit candles alone with children.

• Place candles on steady surfaces that will not burn & will not be damaged by slight heat (from the glass), and keep them away from flammable materials such as curtains.

• Do not let candles burn in a draught or close to a heat source as this will cause the flame to smoke & give uneven burning.

• Trim the wick down to a maximum of 1/4 of an inch after each burn. This also stops the flame smoking and gives you a much longer life to the candle. If the candle does give off sooty smoke, extinguish it and trim the wick before lighting it again.

• Each time the candle is extinguished, remove the charred pieces of wick, remains of matches and other impurities, from the melted wax round the wick.

• Use a proper candle lighter & extinguisher to light and put out your candles where possible.

• When you light your candles make sure it is allowed to burn out to the edge of the glass before extinguishing it. If it only burns for a short while, it will be spoiled by burning downwards and not outwards.

• Always place candles on a level surface, spaced apart, (especially with multiple wick candles) thus preventing uneven burning.

• The wax used for our candles are intended to give the best results at room temperature.

• If water gets onto the surface of the candle, make sure it is completely removed before lighting as a few drops of water causes the flame to spark and crackle.
