Essential tips for a perfect burn

To ensure your Moon Glow candle burns beautifully and safely, follow these absolute must-do's:

  • **First burn matters:** Allow the wax to melt to the edges during the initial burn (typically 2–4 hours) to prevent tunnelling and ensure an even burn every time.
  • **Mind the burn time:** Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Let it cool completely before relighting to maintain its quality.
  • **Safe placement:** Always place your candle on a heat-resistant, stable surface, away from drafts, fans, curtains, and direct sunlight.
  • **Keep clear:** Ensure the burning candle is kept away from children and pets.
  • **Never leave unattended:** Always supervise a lit candle.
  • **Clean wax pool:** Keep the wax pool free of debris, such as matches, wick trimmings, dust, or decorative objects.
  • **Know when to stop:** Discontinue use when approximately 1 cm (½ inch) of wax remains at the bottom of the container to prevent overheating.
  • **Extinguish safely:** Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid using water.
  • **Proper storage:** Store your candle in a cool, dry place to preserve its fragrance, colour, and quality.

For our sculptural decorative candles, which are designed as both beautiful décor and functional items, if you choose to burn them, always place them on a heat-resistant tray or dish to catch any melted wax.

Big no-no's: Candle care mistakes to avoid

To ensure your safety and the longevity of your Moon Glow candle, there's one crucial rule to remember:

  • **Never leave a burning candle unattended.** This is the most important safety precaution and helps prevent accidents. Always extinguish your candle if you leave the room or go to sleep.

By following these simple guidelines, you can safely enjoy the warmth, elegance, and calming atmosphere that your Moon Glow candle brings into your home.
