Candle care

Burn it well, burn it slowly

1. 01

   Trim the wick

   Before every burn, trim the wick to about 5 mm. A short wick burns cleanly and keeps the flame calm.

2. 02

   The first burn matters

   Let the wax melt all the way to the edge — usually 2 to 3 hours — so the candle does not tunnel.

3. 03

   Mind the time

   Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time. Let the wax cool and set before you light it again.

4. 04

   Place it well

   Keep the candle on a stable, heat-safe surface away from drafts, curtains, children and pets.

5. 05

   Know when to stop

   Stop burning when about 1 cm of wax remains. Wash the vessel with warm water and reuse it.

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
