Frequently asked questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about candle care to help you get the most out of your Illuminate Candles.
What's the one thing i should remember about looking after my new candle?
Always trim the wicks before each burn and ensure the candle burns to the edges on its first use. This may take a few hours, but it's essential for an even burn throughout the candle's life.
How can i make my illuminate candles last as long as possible?
To maximise the lifespan of your Illuminate Candles, trim the wicks before each use, burn the candle to the edges every time to prevent tunnelling, and limit each burn to a maximum of 5 hours.
What's the most common issue customers have with candles, and how can they avoid it?
Candle tunnelling is a common issue. Avoid it by ensuring the candle burns to the edges on its first use. Candles have a 'memory', so if it tunnels the first time, it will likely continue to do so.
What are the most important safety tips for burning candles?
Never place your burning candle near anything flammable such as aerosols, curtains, or paper. Also, never leave a lit candle unattended.
