Candle Care

Careless burning of a candle will often result in a poor burn performance, please carefully read and follow the care instructions below to get the most out of your Earth Candle.

Suggested accessories: wick trimmer & wick dipper

Lighting a Candle for the First Time

• Before lighting a candle for the first time, trim wick to approximately 10-15mm.

• When lighting a candle for the first time allow a melt pool to form across the entire top surface of the candle (this prevents tunneling, and creates an even burn for the duration of the candles life). This can take from 2-4 hours.

Trim Wicks

• After the initial lighting of a candle keep wick trimmed to 5-6mm (for best results trim before and during burn, use a wick trimmer) remove any wick debris created during the trimming process.

Extinguishing Candles

• Never blow a candle out as the wax can splash.

• The best way to extinguish a candle is with a wick dipper, simply dip the wick the into melted wax then straighten wick to prevent smoking and prevents any hot wax from splashing.

Storing Candles

• Always store candles in a cool, dark and dry place.

• Avoid placing candles in direct sunlight or harsh indoor lighting, such as spotlights.

• Remove dust and fingerprints from candle by gently rubbing the surface with a piece of nylon or a Soft cloth. The cloth can be dry or slightly dampened with water.

Follow the Earth Candle Guidelines

• Always read and carefully follow the earth candles guidelines on each candle. Never burn a candle longer than the label recommends.
