Candle Care
How to take care of our candles
1. Before switching on
To ensure optimum quality in every lighting, it is recommended to cut the wick to a height of 4mm.
2. Let the candle burn evenly
This step is especially important when you light the candle for the first time: leave it lit for at least an hour or until the wax has melted evenly over the entire surface.
3. Do not consume the candle at once
Candles should burn for up to 4 hours at a time, then extinguish for at least 2 hours and then relight. Be careful not to leave it burning overnight: it could be dangerous!
4. Fix the "tunnel"
If once you have used your candle you have not managed to melt the entire surface and a "tunnel" has formed, do not worry! ...there is a simple solution to regulate the surface. Light your candle and wrap the container with tin foil covering it practically all but leaving a small opening at the top, so that the temperature inside will rise and melt all the wax on the sides and the surface will return to uniform.
5. Wick problems on subsequent ignitions
If, however, when you used your candle, the "tunnel" was created in a very pronounced way or the wick is too short and goes out after a few seconds of lighting it , don't worry! ...there is a simple solution that will bring your candle to a perfect functioning. With a spoon you will have to remove the excess wax around the wick until you get to regulate the entire surface leaving the wick uncovered for 4mm, after which the wick will light again without problems. Don't throw away the wax that you have removed!, you can use it with a classic essence burner, and a Tea Light. Place the wax on the burner and you will see that in a few seconds it will melt releasing a pleasant and intense scent.
