Wax Melt Care Guide
When using a tea light burner, make sure you are using a burner that is suitable for wax melts, it should have around 10cm between the base and the well where the wax melt sits. Keep your burner out of reach of children & pets. Never leave your burner unattended whilst it is in use. Always place your burner on a flat, level and heat resistant surface away from flammable objects and drafts. Always place your burner in a well-ventilated area and not too close to a wall.
Place your wax melt in the well of your burner. Light an unscented tealight and position it into the base of your burner. It is important to note that we only recommend using 2hr or 4hr tealights. 8hr tea lights are dangerous to use as they can cause your burner to overheat and crack, they can also burn off the fragrance in your wax melt too quickly.
Wax melt burners become hot when melted, do not touch or move your burner when in use as heated wax can cause burns. You can melt and re-melt the same segment of wax until it has lost all of its fragrance, be careful not to overfill your burner to avoid the risk of wax spillage.
To remove the wax, wait for it to cool and harden. Our wax is designed to ‘push’ out of the well when slight pressure is applied at one side. If this does not happen, simply light a tealight underneath for around 15-30 seconds. Gently press on one side of the wax and it will pop right out. You can also put the burner upside down under hot running water for a few seconds. Wipe the remaining wax with a paper towel or cotton pad. Never use any metal or other hard objects such as a spoon to remove the cooled wax as this can cause cracks in your burner.
When storing your wax melts, ensure that they remain sealed in their original packaging to preserve their scent in a cool, dark place.
Candle Care Guide
Trim the candle wick to around 4-5mm. Do this each time you light your candle if the wick has become longer. This helps prevent high flames, soot and excessive smoke.
Light the candle in a well-ventilated area, away from drafts or fans. This can cause rapid & uneven burning.
Burn for 1 and a half to 2 hours each time. Burning for less time can cause a ‘tunnel’ and leave a build-up of wax around the sides of the vessel. Burning for periods of longer than 4 hours is also not recommended. This can cause the wick to become slanted or move.
Do not burn a candle past 10mm of wax from the bottom. Keep an eye on a low wax level candle.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Leave at least 10cm between candles & flammable items
