Candle Care
Our moulded soy wax candles are crafted with care and designed primarily for decorative purposes. However, if you choose to burn them, or simply want to maintain their pristine condition, follow these care instructions:
General Care (Unburned Candle)
-
Dusting: Regularly dust the candle with a soft cloth or gentle brush to remove dust and debris.
-
Wiping Down: For fingerprints or dirt, gently wipe the candle with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water or cleaning solutions.
-
Cool, Dry Place: Store the candle away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent melting and discoloration.
-
Protect from Humidity: Keep the candle in a low-humidity environment to avoid moisture damage.
-
Cover or Wrap: Use a dust cover or wrap the candle in tissue paper to protect it from dust and potential damage.
-
Minimize Touching: Handle the candle minimally to avoid transferring oils from your skin, which can cause discoloration. Wearing gloves can help when frequent handling is necessary.
-
Stable Surface: Display the candle on a stable, flat surface to prevent it from tipping over and getting damaged.
-
Avoid Drafts: Keep the candle away from strong air currents or drafts to prevent accidental falls and damage.
Burning Your Candle
While our candles are decorative, you can still burn them. Here are some important considerations:
-
Heat-Safe Surface: Always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface away from flammable items before lighting. Note that our candles may drip when they melt.
-
Supervision: Never leave a burning candle unattended to ensure safety.
-
Avoid Direct Heat: Keep the candle out of direct heat or sunlight to prevent uneven burning or melting.
-
Variable Burn Times: Burn times can vary based on environmental conditions and the size of the candle. Be mindful of these factors.
-
Child and Pet Safety: Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidents.
-
Proper Placement: Ensure the candle is placed on a flat, heat-resistant tray in a draft-free area for optimal burning conditions.
