Caring for Scented Candles

A scented candle changes a room slowly. The wax warms, the fragrance opens and a small pool of light settles into the evening. Good candle care is not complicated, but it begins before the flame is lit. A well-trimmed wick and an even first burn help the candle burn more cleanly, release fragrance consistently and use the wax to its edges.

  • Trim the wick before each burn
  • Melt to the edge on the first burn
  • Keep out of drafts
  • Never leave unattended

Always follow the care label, product page and instructions supplied by the maker. Where these differ from this general guide, the product-specific instructions take precedence.

Before lighting

  • Place the candle on a stable, level and heat-resistant surface, away from curtains, shelves, open windows and anything that can catch fire.
  • Before every burn, trim a cotton wick to approximately 5 mm. For a wood wick, remove the loose char and follow the maker’s recommended length.

Burning

  • During the first burn, allow the melt pool to travel close to the edge of the vessel. This helps prevent a narrow tunnel forming around the wick.
  • Keep each burn within the maximum burn time on the label. A very deep melt pool can overheat the vessel and make the wick unstable.
  • If the wick shifts while the wax is liquid, extinguish the flame and allow the candle to cool rather than touching it.

After burning

  • After extinguishing, let the wax cool and become completely solid before moving or relighting the candle.
  • Keep the wax free from matches, wick trimmings and dust.
  • When the vessel is cool, wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth.

Avoid

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended, even for a short time.
  • Keep away from children, pets, drafts and flammable objects.
  • Do not burn to the very bottom. Stop when the minimum wax depth on the label remains.
  • Do not reuse the vessel for food or drink unless the maker explicitly confirms that it is suitable.
