Caring for your candle
A few little steps can ensure your candle lasts as long as possible, and smells extra wonderful too!
DO’s
First Burn
The first time you light your candle, make sure it burns for a minimum of 2.5 hours (ideally 3-4 hours). This is to avoid wax tunnelling and help maximise the lifespan of your candle.
Trim the wick
After the initial burn, make sure to trim the wick to about 5mm before re-lighting your candle. You can easily pinch the end of the wick. This is to avoid mushrooming and sooting.
Steady surface
To avoid any potential accidents, always burn your candle on a steady, heat-resistant surface. Please always keep burning candles away from children, pets and drafts.
DON’TS
Max burn time
Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time, to avoid large flames, mushrooming and sooting.
Don’t leave unattended
Never leave your candle burning unattended. We don’t want any unwanted candle accidents!
Pets and children
Please always keep candles away from pets, children and drafts, to avoid any accidental wax spills.
Enjoy your Atlas candle!
