Candle care

Burn well.

Six small habits that make your candle last longer, burn cleaner, and stay beautiful.

🕯️

First burn

Let the entire top layer melt evenly — usually 2 to 3 hours. This prevents tunneling.

✂️

Trim the wick

Keep your wick at 5 mm (¼ inch). A longer wick means smoke and uneven burn.

⏳

Burn time

Never burn longer than 3–4 hours at a stretch. Let the wax rest and re-center.

🌬️

Away from drafts

Drafts make flames flicker and tunnel. Find a still corner, away from curtains and airflow.

🔥

Extinguish gently

Use a snuffer or dip the wick — blowing can splatter wax. Never leave a candle unattended.

♻️

Reuse the vessel

Wash with warm soapy water. Our vessels make beautiful small planters or stash spots.

Candles without containers?

Pillar and sculptural candles must always burn on a heat-resistant holder or tray. Never on bare furniture.
