Who knew candles needed care? Years ago when I lived in Florida, and before I was a candle maker, I was introduced to candle care by another reputable candle line and was blown away at what I learned. Seeing as how we use the finest, cleanest ingredients we can to make a clean-burning and amazing candle, why not give a little care to the investment so you can enjoy it a little longer. Let me explain.
We recommend employing a wick dipper and trimmer and even offer a candle care duo on our site and in our store for max results. In-store we'll provide you with a wick dipper if you are doing not have one, however the candle care duo is well well worth the investment. The wick dipper may be a long stem with an angled end that permits you to dip the wick into the melt pool to extinguish the flame. Why would one do that???
The reason is 2-fold. For one, the flame is put out immediately and as opposed to blowing out or snuffing out, it fully extinguishes the flame which eliminates smoke and soot, and that icky smell afterward. Secondly, it re-coats your wick within the wax which can add hours to your candle. BE SURE TO STAND YOUR WICK BACK UPRIGHT. As you get to the bottom of the jar, dipping may present a challenge so don't force it or you may dislodge your wick; at that point I recommend just blowing it out.
If, by chance, your wick does move on you, simply replace it back to it's origin and allow it to re-solidify. (We have recently changed our adhesive method so all Hadwin House candles made after 12/15/2018 will not have that issue. ) Also, it's vital to trim your wick to 1/4 in before lighting. NEVER leave a candle unattended and avoid burning longer than 4 hours. (that goes for ANY candle company). I have added videos on social media about how to best care for your candles. So there you have it, that is why we use the wick dipper thingy and we love it. Once you start using it, you'll never want to blow out a candle again!
When you blow out a candle or use the lid to kick the bucket out doesn’t enhance the fragrance experience. After filling your room with beautiful fragrance, you finish the evening inevitably filling it with smoke.
My advice is to use the candle wick dipper to push the wick over and convey copy like this
Please confirm that the candle has been lit for long enough the primary time to pool the wax. Ideally a good couple of hours. The candle will then burn down the side of the glass consumption all the wax. Finishing with a clean glass. If you would like to learn to make your own candles click here
I also offer a refill service if you would like to drop your candles off for a refill usually on ‘fill it up Friday’ – a standard refill of a 220g candle is £9
