HAVE YOU BEEN BURNING YOUR CANDLES THE WRONG WAY ALL THIS TIME?!

12/5/2020

Did you know there is a right way to burn a candle — and most people have no idea what it is!

1. Trim the wick every single time

​Each time you want to burn your candle, start by trimming the wick to between 3 and 6 mm long. You can use scissors, nail clippers (that's my personal favorite), or a specialized wick trimmer, but no matter what you do, always trim. 

Why you may ask?

Trimmed wicks will give you a cleaner, brighter burn. Untrimmed wicks are a lot more likely to take on a weird mushroom shape that dulls and obscures the flame. 

AND... excessively long wicks are a top cause of those nasty smoky stains that end up on your glass jar candles. Trimming the wick keeps the flame in control and prevents those marks from forming in the first place. 

2. Let the wax melt all the way across

Once your candle's lit, don't blow it out until the top layer of wax has melted all the way across. This might take several hours — so don't set out to burn a candle at all unless you've got time to kill. 

Whenever you fail to achieve full melt, you're contributing to a process called tunnelling. The wick starts to sink lower and lower, like a tunnel is forming right through the center of the candle.

Eventually, the tunnel will grow so deep that it'll be tough to light the wick at all. More importantly, all that unmelted wax on the sides represents hours of lovely fragrance and burn time you bought but won't ever get to utilise. 

It takes patience, but if you melt the wax all the way across every time you burn, the surface of the candle will stay  flat and the sides of the jar will stay clean, all the way down until the candle is spent. 

3. Keep the flame away from moving air

Do your best to keep your burning candle away from open windows, or heavily traffic areas where people walk back and forth a lot. Moving air can disturb the flame, leading to even more unsightly black marks on the glass. 

ART TIN CANDLES

INTRODUCING our new range of  tin candles. These are made with natural soy wax and blend of and high quality perfume oils. 

Soy wax candles are a great eco-friendly alternative to paraffin candles. Soy candles throw scent beautifully and are better for the planet. They also burn 30-50% longer and do not contain the toxins that paraffin candles have. Our 100% all-natural candles produce 95% less soot too!

Now in stock are our Art Tin Candles which come presented in beautiful themed art printed tins (various assorted designs). 

All of our candles use natural products and are not tested on animals, they are vegan friendly.
These candles burn up to 23 hours.

They come with their very own care instructions to help you get the most out of your candle from top to bottom - also if you follow our burning advice this will help them burn. 

The candle wicks are made from paraffin wax and cotton.
