A Mindful Ritual
Follow these simple steps to keep your Soothe & Inspire candle burning safely, evenly, and for as long as possible. Let's turn candle care into a calming ritual, not just a routine.
The First Burn is Crucial
On your candle's first burn, it's essential to let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the jar. This crucial step helps your candle burn evenly, safely, and last longer. For your very first burn, let the candle melt fully across the surface. This sets the memory of the wax, helping your Soothe & Inspire candle burn evenly, safely, and beautifully every time.
Avoid Short Burn Times
The most common mistake people make with candles is blowing them out too soon, before the wax has melted evenly. With your Soothe & Inspire candle, avoid short burn times. Let the wax melt right to the edges before extinguishing to prevent tunnelling and wasted wax. Patience is key to a longer-lasting, beautifully burning candle.
A Moment For Yourself
Caring for your Soothe & Inspire candle is part of the ritual of creating a peaceful atmosphere. Trimming the wick, lighting with intention, and allowing the wax to melt evenly creates a quiet moment to slow down, breathe, and reset. Incorporate these steps into your self-care routine.
Trim Your Wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to around 5mm. This helps maintain a steady flame, reduces soot, and ensures a clean, even burn throughout the life of your candle.
Burn With Care
For best results, burn your candle for no longer than 3–4 hours at a time. Always place your candle on a heat-safe surface and keep it away from drafts, pets, children, and flammable objects.
When To Stop
Discontinue use when approximately 10mm of wax remains. This helps prevent overheating and protects the vessel.
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always follow general candle safety guidelines.
