Allow plenty of time for the melting wax during burning to reach the edges of the candle vessel - especially during the very first burn. This could take a while (depending on the size and diameter of the candle), so make sure you intend to enjoy some candle-lit ambience for a couple of hours. Doing this will help prevent tunnelling of the wax down the center of the candle during future burns.

Trim the wick nice and short between burns (recommended 5mm) to allow a clean burning flame. This can be done using a wick trimmer, or quite easily by snapping the end of the wick off with your fingers. This is best done when the candle wax has cooled and hardened. Ensure not to leave any wick trimmings or debris in the candle.

Safety and burning instructions can be found on the underside of your Ecológica candle, make sure to follow this advice every time you burn your candle to prevent accident or injury. Our safety advice is as follows:

To prevent fire and injury:
Burn candle within sight. Keep away from drafts and vibrations. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never burn candle near anything that could catch fire.

Burning instructions:
Trim wick to 5mm before every burn. Keep candle free of foreign materials including matches and wick trimmings. Only burn candle on level, fire resistant surface. Do not burn candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

Once you have finished with your candle, the container can easily be cleaned with soap and hot water (this applies to both glass and ceramic vessels). We encourage you to repurpose your vessel in your home. Vessels can also be recycled or returned to us for reuse.

Love your home, and love the earth!
