Candle Care

Here at precious flame we are committed to sustainability. All our protective packaging is either reused from our supplier or biodegradable/recyclable product. Our packing peanuts are 100% biodegradable and dissolve in water. Our packing tape is made from kraft paper and recyclable. We print our business and thank you cards on recycled kraft paper and encourage you all to reuse your vessels when your candle has finished. We source our materials sustainably and all our items are handmade in small batches to prevent material waste.

Candle jars can be repurposed for many things from plant pot holders to jars for knick-knacks or something to hold your pens/makeup brushes/paint brushes in, plus much more!

Leftover wax and wick holder at the bottom can be removed by using hot water and a teaspoon to remove the wax remnants. Once excess wax is removed, the jar can be washed with soap and water, once cleaned and dry it is ready for its new purpose.

 

Candle care

For the first burn of the candle let the candle burn to the edge to avoid tunnelling in future burns.

If you do happen to incur tunnelling of the candle, you can remove excess wax from outer edges using a teaspoon when wax is almost completely cooled to level out wax level.

Trim the wicks to 5mm before lighting to help with prevention of wick mushrooming. You don't need to trim the wicks before the first burn as they come pre-trimmed.

Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time, burning the candle for more than 4 hours can cause the wick to “mushroom” and the candle can smoke and produce black soot.

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Never move a lit candle. Always keep out of reach of pets and children. Only have the candle burning on an even sturdy, heat resistant surface. Keep out of drafts.
