Product Care

CANDLE CARE

1. Before lighting your candle for the very first time, trim your wick down to 1cm.

2. Light your candle and keep it burning until the wax pool reaches the edge all the way round (if you don't do this then your candle will 'tunnel' and you will end up with lots of wax left around the sides).

3.  If you're finding that your wax pool is struggling to reach one side of your jar (this can happen if it's particularly cold), you can pop a coaster under the side where the wax isn't melting and this should encourage the wax pool to spread to that last bit. 

4. Before each use, make sure to  trim the wick to 1cm before lighting. This will keep your candle burning evenly, avoid smoking and make it last as long as possible.

5. To make sure you're using your candle safely, be sure to keep it out of reach of children and pets. Don't burn it for more than 4 hours at a time, don't leave it unattended, keep it within sight at all times and if you're burning multiple candles, ensure that they are more than 5cm apart.

 

DIFFUSER CARE

1. To get the level of scent right for you and your space, I recommend adding a couple of reeds at a time every few days until you reach the level that you would like.

2. After a couple of weeks, make sure to flip your reeds. To do this, pinch all of the reeds just above the diffuser bottle top, pull them out of the bottle and put the ends that were facing upwards down into the diffuser oil.

3. Then make sure to give your hands a really good wash to remove any oil that may have transferred onto them. I would also recommend doing this with a piece of kitchen roll handy just incase of any drips.

4. Keep doing this every few weeks to keep your reed diffuser smelling as fresh as the day you got it.
