Candle Care Guide

Welcome to Candle Care by The Cottage Flame Co.

We believe that a candle is more than just a fragrance – it’s an experience. To help you enjoy your handmade candles to the fullest, we’ve put together this guide for safe use, proper maintenance, and maximum enjoyment.

Thank you for choosing a handmade candle from The Cottage Flame Co.! To ensure you enjoy every moment safely and beautifully, please follow our simple care instructions.

First Burn Matters

Allow your candle to burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the container.

First burns should last 2–4 hours to prevent tunneling.

Trim Your Wick

Always trim the wick to about 5mm (1/4 inch) before lighting.

A trimmed wick ensures a clean, even burn with less soot and smoke.

Safe Burning Practices

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Keep candles away from drafts, vents, and flammable materials.

Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

Keep away from children and pets.

Burning Time

Burn candles for no longer than 4 hours at a time.

Use a snuffer to extinguish the flame safely.

Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting.

When to Stop

Stop burning your candle when 1cm (1/2 inch) of wax remains.

This prevents overheating or container damage.

Storage

Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Protect your candle's colour and fragrance for longer enjoyment.

CANDLE SAFELY WARNING

Always burn candles within sight.

Never use a candle as a night light.

Do not move a burning candle.

Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, and debris.

Only burn candles on a level, fire-resistant surface.

Avoid burning candles near flammable liquids or gases.
