Candle Burning Instructions

Burning Safety

  • NEVER LEAVE A BURNING CANDLE UNATTENDED!
  • Always burn candles on a heat resistant surface. Candle holders may become hot and damage furniture. A good heat resistant surface can be made from a ceramic tile (cover bottom with felt to protect furniture.
  • Keep all burning candles away from children and pets.
  • Position candles away from flammable objects.
  • Place freestanding candles in a shallow dish or bowl to catch the wax in case any dripping down. 
  • Do not burn candles to the very bottom.
  • Keep away from drafts.
  • Burn Candles in a close fitting container.
  • When Burning Melts please ensure you do not move the burner whilst the wax is still hot to avoid burning yourself and marking your surfaces

Burning Instructions

The following burning tips will help you get the most out of your candles.

  • Always keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch (6mm.).
  • Burning most candles no longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time will increase total burn time.
  • Large diameter candles should be burned no longer than 2 hours at a time. This helps keep the sides intact, allowing the candle to glow from within.
  • If a candle burns unevenly it is in a draft. Please move the candle to another location.
  • Container candles (jar candles, votives in holders, etc...) should be burned 1 hour for each inch of diameter. This allows the wax pool to cover the entire surface, improves scent throw, and extends the burning time.
