Container Candles.
I’m sure you know how to burn a candle.. But here’s how to get the most of out it:
Always trim your wick to around 1/2cm (can go slightly shorter for wood wicks)
Make sure to burn the wax to the edges on the first burn (this could take up to 3-4hrs)
Use common sense- don’t leave unattended, with kids or pets, don’t burn near curtains or anything else that’ll catch fire (that dead bouquet you’ve been meaning to throw out). Please don’t move the thing while it’s lit either.
Think of it as a small, contained, nice-smelling fire in your home.
Stonewares.
Each piece is mixed, poured, sanded & sealed by hand. This means they could differ slightly in colour or pattern, and could present with minor air bubbles. These occur naturally in stone mixes and are not considered a fault.
They all have bumpers on the base to prevent scratches on furniture and are sealed against light stains & humidity.
They are not food safe.
Don’t eat off them, don’t use them as a cutting board, they don’t belong in the microwave or in the dishwasher.
Wipe up any spills quickly with a soft cloth and avoid using any abrasive scrubbing or chemicals. This can affect the sealant.
Finally, like most things.. If you drop it, there’s a good chance it’ll break.
Sculptural Candles.
These candles are usually designed for decorative purposes. While unlit, do not keep them in direct sunlight or near hot stuff, in order to protect their shape & colour.
But if you’re a rebel and like chaos (I mean, same). Wax spillage is Inevitable!
Place your candle on a heat resistant tray or dish to protect your surroundings. Hmmm.. wonder where you could get one of those??
Trim the wick to 0.5cm before burning. Don't burn your candle more than 2 hours at a time OR If the candles drip too much. Extinguish and let them cool before using again. If you don’t let them burn to the edge, on the second burn it will create a “tunnel” and be harder to spill. Stop the final burn with about 0.5cm to go and you can even use the remaining wax in a wax melter/warmer to get the most out of it.
