CANDLE CARE
- Keep wicks trimmed to approx ½ cm to avoid smoking and for perfect flame
- 'Hug your candle'- occasionally it is necessary to press the edges of the candle towards the centre of the candle to ensure all the beeswax is burnt – be very careful when doing this and ideally when the candle has just been extinguished
- Always store your candles in a cool, dark and dry place
- When lighting the candle, place flame at base of wick. Hold it there for a moment until you see the wax start to melt.
