CANDLE CARE & SAFETY

At The Country Candle Company we take great care in producing high quality candles that burn beautifully. We’ve put together our top candle tips to improve the quality of your candle burn and explain some of our safety guidelines. With the right care our candles will burn cleaner and last longer.

1. Trim your wick! Keep your wick trimmed to 5mm with our handy wick trimmers. This will give a much cleaner burn and prevent the candle from creating soot.

2. Keep your candles away from drafts to keep the flame steady. An unsteady flame causes soot and gives off a smoky scent.

3. Allow the wax pool to fully melt to the edge of the candle before extinguishing. By doing this your candle will last much longer, and burn without tunnelling. 

4. Use a candle snuffer to extinguish your candle. Candle snuffers prevent excess smoke escaping when the wick is being extinguished.

5. When your candle reaches 5mm from the bottom, it’s time to say goodbye. Leaving any candle to burn right out can cause the container to become very hot when there is little wax left.
