Candle Care

Candle Memory

On your candle’s first burn, allow it to burn for 1–2 hours, or until the wax has melted evenly across the surface. This helps establish a consistent melt pool and encourages an even burn in future.

Candles have a memory: extinguishing a candle before it has formed a full melt pool can cause tunnelling, affecting how it burns thereafter.

 

Candle Care

Wicks: Trim the wick to approximately 5 mm before each burn. This helps maintain a steady flame, reduce soot and ensure a cleaner burn.

Burning: For a safe, even burn, do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Discontinue use when approximately 1.5 cm of wax remains.

After burning: Allow the candle to cool completely before moving it. Once finished, clean the vessel and give it a second life.

 

Candle Glass Cleaning 

Once your candle has burned its last glow, the glass can be cleaned and given a second life.

Carefully pour hot water into the vessel, leaving some space at the top. As the water cools, the remaining wax will rise to the surface and harden. Leave it overnight, then gently remove the solidified wax and discard it in the bin.

If you're in a hurry, allow the hot water to sit until the wax has softened and separated from the bottom of the vessel. Gently remove the wax and discard it, never pour wax down the drain.

Wipe away any remaining wax or soot with a paper towel, then wash the vessel with warm, soapy water.

Lata vessels are dishwasher safe once all wax has been removed.
