Always store your candle in a cool dry place to prevent sweating as this may affect the scent throw when burning.

The first time you use your new candle, burn for at least 2-3 hours, allowing the wax to burn evenly across the surface. Scented candles develop a 'burn memory' and a candle that has not been burnt right to the edges on its initial use, will 'tunnel' and burn unevenly through the centre of the wax.

For maximum burn time, always keep your candle wicks trimmed to approximately 5mm. Trimming the wick will help your candle to burn evenly, will eliminate smoking and minimise soot forming on the glass. However, a small amount of soot around the edges of the glass is normal, particularly as your candle reaches the bottom. To remove, simply wipe with a damp cloth while the glass is still warm.

To extinguish your candle dip the wick into the melted wax and straighten. This will eliminate smoking, keeping the house free of smoke and keeping your wick nice and ready for the next use.

Ensure you place your candle away from drafts. A draft can result in an uneven burn and will reduce the life of your candle.

Always follow burning instructions on all candles.
