Caring for Your Woodwix Candle
- Keeping your wick trimmed before lighting helps your candle to burn evenly and helps prevent smoking wicks. Excess burnt material can be removed simply by pinching off with a tissue when the candle is cold. Wick trimming is essential every time you burn your candle.
- When you burn a highly-scented candle, sometimes your candle may develop a “fragrance mushroom”. This doesn’t happen with poorly scented candles. You can trim any mushrooms that develop on the wick using the above method but always on a cold candle.
- For the first burn allow a full, edge to edge burn pool to form. Failure to do this will cause the candle to burn down the middle (called tunnelling), this will not only decrease the fragrance throw but will also shorten the life of the candle.
- Place candles on a heat-resistant surface away from anything that can catch fire.
- Never leave candles unattended.
- Never burn the last ¼” of the candle as this presents a higher fire hazard.
