Pillar Care Instructions

Before Lighting

To avoid causing damage to surfaces or furniture from melted wax, we recommend placing your Pillar Candle on a flat heat resistant dish or Candle plate big enough to collect any wax that may drip. 

First Burn

Unlike jar Container Candles, Pillar Candles will drip. Every Candle will burn differently with different burn times. Never burn a Candle for more than 1-2 hours at a time.

Candle Safety

When lighting your Candles ensure a draft free environment, keep clear of any flammable objects/items. Keep away from pets or children and NEVER leave your candles unattended. Make sure to always put out candles before leaving your home or before sleeping.

Ongoing Use & Storage

Candles are sensitive to temperature and light. Fragrances with vanillin (vanilla) content may yellow if exposed to sunlight or fluorescent light, this is normal and does not affect the burning of the candle, only the aesthetic. When not in use store your candles in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Once burned and candle is melted, you can snap off the melted wax and use the left over in an oil burner as fragrance will continue through the burner.

Trimming your wick

Ensure you trim your wick BEFORE every use. Trim your wick to 5mm. Trimming will ensure your candle does not burn hotter than it should, and thus will prolong the life of your candle. Be sure not to cut it too short or it will become engulfed by wax.
