Tips, Tricks & Candle Care
To enjoy your Ella Wick Candle to its fullest, allow the wax to melt completely across the top of the container during each burn. This “full melt pool” prevents memory rings and ensures an even burn, usually taking around 4 - 5 hours.
Always trim the wick to 5mm before relighting. Our large, 600 g long-burning candles are designed to safely burn for up to 8 hours at a time. Trimming the wick during your burn and maintaining a full melt pool ensures a cleaner, safer burn and allows you to fully enjoy the fragrance and beauty of your candle from the first burn until the last.
If you only have 3 - 4 hours, you may notice a small wax residue around the sides - this will melt down naturally as you continue to enjoy the candle. It is really important to CLEAN YOUR WICKS before you burn and if you intend on burning all day long, trim during the burn. No one likes a dirty wick!
Where you place your candle greatly affects its burn. For an even, safe flame, avoid placing candles near windows, in draughts or where wind can reach them. The lid is designed to protect your surfaces. You can place the candle on top of the lid if your furniture is not heatproof, ensuring both a safe and elegant burn.
As your candle nears the bottom, you may notice a slight production of soot. This occurs because the flame has less access to oxygen when the wax level is low, please ensure you clean the wick to reduce this. Always leave at least 1cm of wax and return your vessel for a refill and $5 off your next purchase.
