Care Instructions - Tapered Temptations Bundle
Candles
- Dust Removal: Your candles may develop a light layer of dust, known as "bloom," due to the natural waxes and dyes. Simply wipe the candles with a soft cloth to restore their appearance.
- Wick Trimming: Trim the wick to 5mm before each lighting.
- Burning Surface: Always burn candles on a flat, level surface.
- Holder Use: Use an appropriate holder to protect surfaces and linens.
- Foreign Materials: Keep the candle free of any foreign materials.
- Extinguishing Flame: Use an appropriate tool to extinguish the flame. Extinguish when the candle is at least 2cm from the holder or base to prevent injury or property damage.
- Burn Time: Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
- Supervision and Surface: Always burn the candle within sight and on a heat-resistant surface.
- Children and Pets: Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Drafts and Vibrations: Keep away from drafts, vents, and vibrations to avoid dripping and compromising the burn time.
- Handling: Do not move the candle when lit or when the wax is liquid.
- Fire Hazards: Never burn a candle near anything that can catch fire.
- Candle Spacing: For optimal performance, do not place candles too close together. Position them at least 10 cm apart to prevent overheating and excessive dripping or pooling.
- Glassware: Adding candles into glassware, such as a glass cylinder or sleeve, affects burn time due to the added heat and trapped hot air. Burning a candle in too small glassware may cause rapid burning, dripping, or pooling.
- Fluted Candles: Fluted candles are not suitable for use in glass cylinders. Use them on a pillar plate instead.
- Storage: Store candles in a cool, dark space, out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to avoid fading, warping, or melting.
Candle Holders
- Flame Proximity: Do not allow flames within 2 cm of or to directly touch the holder as this may result in damaging the holder.
- Washing: Hand wash only. Use a soft, clean cloth to prevent scratching and abrasion.
- Water Temperature: Do not clean with hot or boiling water.
- Soaking: Do not soak.
- Scrubbing: Do not scrub.
- Candle Removal: Gently twist candles to remove them from holders to avoid snapping the base of the candle.
- Wax Removal: Do not use sharp instruments such as a knife to remove wax from holders as this can result in scratching.
- Cleaning Frequency: We suggest cleaning all candle holders after use to avoid wax seeping into the material.
- Drying: Dry completely before storing.
- Storage: Store out of direct sunlight to avoid colour fading over time.
