To help you understand how to look after your scented soy candle to get the best life possible from it, as well as how to burn it safely, please read the below information on ‘how to care for your scented soy candle’ and ‘burning safety instructions’
The first burn of your scented soy candle sets the burn memory. Allow at least 4 hours for this & do not extinguish flame until the wax has melted to the edge of the glass. Note: the time this will take is dependent on the temperature of the room you are burning the candle in, a hot room will achieve this faster than a cold room
After the first burn – burn your scented soy candle for a minimum of one hour, but no longer than 3 hours at a time – this ensures your candle will always burn to edge of glass and then minimises the chance of flooding the wick
If your scented soy candle starts to burn unevenly, this is most likely from a draught. Turn the candle to even up the burn and then move to a different location as draughts will speed up the burn time
After each burn, before the wax has set, re-centre the wick – this will help ensure an even burn
Trim the wick of your scented soy candle to 5mm once the candle is cold and remove any debris, as this can cause smoke
Keep your scented soy candles upright and out of direct sunlight. Soy wax has a low melt point and some oils will discolour in sunlight
Burn times provided for your scented soy candle are approximate and the actual burn time will depend on the burning conditions (e.G. Candles burn faster in a draught)
Never leave a burning scented candle unattended
Keep candles away from children, pets and furnishings
Stop burning your scented candle once it is 1.5cm from the base of the glass – failure to do so can result in the glass exploding
Do not place / burn your scented candle on a heated surface (i.E. Heater/fire), this will speed up the burn time & could cause bottom of the candle glass to overheat & potentially explode
If burning more than one scented candle at a time leave at least 10cm between candles
