Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch in length. This ensures a cleaner burn and that your candle will burn for a longer time. If the wick is too long it cannot draw the wax up to the top of the wick and the wick itself starts to burn – causing soot.
Place the candle on a heatproof surface or mat before lighting. This is especially important for tinned candles as they may become quite hot.
When first lighting your candle, allow it to burn for 3-4 hours, or at least until the wax pools to the edge of the container. This will ensure that on your next burn the wax melts evenly. If not, it may create a tunnelling effect. Feel free to remove your crystals if you think it is affecting the burn of the candle. You can be reassured that the crystal’s energy and intention will still vibrate into the room after removal.
Never leave candles burning unattended.
Keep all candles out of reach from animals and children.
Always leave at least 10cm between burning candles. Do not burn on or near anything that can catch fire.
Do not blow out a candle; it is safer to use a candle snuffer.
Do not allow your candle to burn to the end – leave at least 1 cm of wax at the base.
Do not re-light your candle once there is less than 2cm of wax left in your candles.
Dispose of candles safely and with care for the environment.
