Candles can be dangerous if not used correctly. Always burn on a flat, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, pets, and children. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Do not burn for longer than 3 hours at a time

For your safety:

• Never sleep or leave with a candle burning. Unattended flames can quickly lead to serious accidents.
• Stop before the wax runs out. Leave at least 10mm of wax in the jar so the flame has a solid base. Burning too low can overheat the glass.
• Ensure the flame is fully out before leaving the room. Check there is no glow from the wick ember.
• Do not touch or move a candle while it is still hot. Wait until it has completely cooled to avoid burns or spills.

Following these simple safety tips ensures your candle burns beautifully and safely every time.

The first burn is the most important! Allow your candle to melt all the way to the edges before extinguishing (usually 2–3 hours). This helps create an even wax pool and prevents tunnelling. Always let the wax fully reset before lighting again for the smoothest, longest-lasting burn.

Trimming your wick to around 5mm before every burn.

Before every burn, trim your wick to around 5mm. This keeps the flame steady, reduces smoke, and helps your candle last longer. If your flame is flickering, sputtering, or burning unevenly, it’s a sign the wick needs trimming — always allow the wax to cool completely before trimming and relighting. Avoid burning your candle for more than 3 hours at a time, and let it cool fully before lighting again.

Once your candle has finished, don’t throw away that gorgeous glass! Clean out any remaining wax, Then with warm, soapy water give a good clean and repurpose your jar. They make perfect iced coffee tumblers, storage cups, or decorative holders — a little way to keep your candle glowing long after the flame is gone. ♻️
