Candle Care
To ensure maximum enjoyment and burning hours from your Santo & Hiraya candle, follow these important candle care guidelines:
-
Wicks must be trimmed to 1/4 inch before each lighting and after use. (Keeping wicks trimmed prevents a large, smoking flame from developing and prevents glass from blackening).
-
When the candle is first lit, allow it to burn long enough to melt the entire top layer of wax to form a liquid wax pool. This will ensure your candle doesn't ‘tunnel ‘ on subsequent burnings.
-
If your candle won’t stay lit because it is “drowning” in a wax pool, try using a paper towel to soak up the excess wax. Wait for few minutes and relight your candle. Repeat this process until your wick has room to breathe!
-
Do not burn candle for less than 2 hours or for more than 4 hours at one time.
-
Burn candle on a flat, even, heat resistant surface.
-
Approximately 40 hours+ burn time*.
-
It’s really important to note that with wooden wicks the flame height might vary at times, and occasionally appear to self-extinguish - this is totally normal. Even if you are experiencing a ‘low’ flame, it should continue to heat the wax and if left to burn the flame height should return
* The quoted burn time of each candle is approximate. Climate, fragrance, and variance in burning habits will affect how many hours in total a candle will burn.
Candle Safety Guide
Please follow these safety measures when burning your Santo & Hiraya candle:
-
Always burn a candle within sight.
-
Always keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
-
Never burn a candle near flammable objects, open windows and air drafts.
-
Glass may become very hot. Burn only on a heat resistant surface.
-
Keep candle wax clean of wick trimmings and other foreign objects.
-
Do not light candle if glass is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way.
-
Do not move a burning candle. Extinguish the flame first and allow wax to cool before moving.
-
Do not use lid to extinguish the flame.
-
Always trim your wicks to 1/4 inch before each lighting and after use. Failure to do so will result in a flame that is too large, which may burn irregularly. A large flame may also begin to smoke and cause the glass to blacken.
-
After you have extinguished your candle, make sure they are not smoking and that the flame is completely out and the wax cooled before you put them away
