The golden rule of candle burning
The one thing Candle Haven wishes every customer knew about burning soy candles safely and getting the most enjoyment from them:
Before burning: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch (5mm) before each burn. This prevents smoking and ensures a cleaner burn.
First burn: Always allow the first burn to form a full wax pool to the edges. This prevents tunneling, as candles have a 'memory'.
Safe burning practices: Burn on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts. Limit burns to 3-4 hours to avoid overheating. Extinguish with a snuffer (not by blowing).
Keep it clean:Keep the wax pool free of debris for a clean, safe, and long-lasting experience.
Don't move: Never move a lit candle; the candle container gets hot. Extinguish, let cool, then move if needed.
More cleaning: Before relighting, use tweezers to remove wick trimmings or debris from the wax pool.
Storage: Keep the lid on to lock in fragrance and prevent dust. Store in a cool, dark, dry place away from direct sunlight to minimise frosting and preserve scent.
