Did you know that candles are needier than you first thought? Here is a list of tips and tricks to help you get the best out of your candles.

HOW TO BURN YOUR CANDLE

​

I. The first time you burn your candle you should allow the wax to melt to the edges of the container to prevent tunnelling which can reduce the burn time.

​II. Leave 1cm of wax at the bottom of the container to avoid overheating.

​

HOW TO CARE FOR WICKS

​

III. Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings and matches, as debris in the wax can act as a secondary wick, encouraging your candle to burn faster.
