For you, dear buyers of natural wax candles, we have prepared a special article from which you will learn how to take care of your candles so that they serve you with their beauty for as long as possible. Read more HERE.
The first burning of the candle is crucial. It depends on how it will behave further in use and whether it will serve you for a long time. Soy wax is a natural product, without enhancers, which is why its burnout is also specific.
The first burning of the candle should take about 2-3 hours, depending on its size or the directions given for the particular candle. It is important that the wax melts over the entire surface to the edge of the vessel. This will prevent the formation of tunnel, where the wax stays on the sides of the vessel and burns only in its center.
This way of burning will cause the wax to melt evenly until the very end (the bottom of the vessel).
Take care of the length of the wooden or cotton wick. It should not exceed approx. 3-4mm in length for wooden wicks and 5mm for cotton wicks.
After the candle has cooled down (let the candle cool completely and the wax returns to its original, solid state) and before using it again, gently break off or cut off the burnt part of the wick. Clean the wax surface from dirt.
Safety while using your candles:
- Keep the candle away from flammable objects.
- Do not place the candle in a draft.
- Do not leave the candle unattended and do not burn it within the reach of children and pets.
- Store the candle at room temperature (lower temperatures may cause cracks on the candle surface).
- Do not put out the candle with water.
- Place the candles on nonflammable coasters and even surfaces.
