Candle Care Tips

The following instructions are specifically for our jar candles sold as part of our collaboration with Lamp on a Hill Candle Co. 

How to get the maximum burn time from your JAR candle:

SOY WAX has a ‘MEMORY’
  • The first time you burn your candle, let it burn for 3-4 hours so that it burns all the way to the edge of the container.
  • This will set the ‘candle memory’ so that it burns to the edge each burn 
  • This means you'll get the maximum burn time from your candle
  • And left over wax on the sides, or what’s referred to as ‘tunnelling'
  • Never burn for longer than 4 hours at a time.
  • Always burn on a heat resistant surface. 
TRIM the WICK
  • Regularly trim your wick before each burn to 0.7mm
  • This will avoid your wick ‘mushrooming’ and falling in to your wax.
  • It also means you get the maximum burn time from your candle and no soot and black marks left on your containers
END of CANDLE
  • STOP burning with 10mm of wax left to prevent glass cracking
  • Wash out your container with warm soapy water and re-use! 
  • JUMP back on our website and order another candle....or two :)
