1. Container candles
Your London Home Scents candle has been carefully handcrafted using premium soy wax to provide a clean, beautiful burn. Following these simple care tips will help you enjoy your candle safely and for as long as possible.
Before your first burn
Allow your candle to burn until the entire surface has melted to the edges of the container. This helps prevent tunnelling and ensures an even burn throughout the life of the candle.
Trim the wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm (¼ inch). This helps reduce soot, prevents excessive flickering, and keeps the flame at a safe height.
Burn time
Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the wax to cool completely before relighting.
Keep away from drafts
Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from open windows, fans, and air vents, as drafts can cause uneven burning.
2. Decorative candles
Our decorative candles are designed to be beautiful home décor as well as functional candles. If you choose to burn them, always place them on a heat-resistant dish or tray, as wax will drip while burning.
3. Tea light candles
Our handmade soy tea lights are designed to provide a clean and consistent burn when used in a suitable tea light holder.
Always burn tea lights in a heat-resistant tea light holder.
Never burn a tea light directly on a surface or without a holder.
Burn on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
Keep tea lights at least 5 cm apart when burning more than one at a time.
Tea lights are designed to burn continuously until the wax has been consumed. Do not extinguish and relight unless necessary.
Never leave a burning tea light unattended.
Keep away from children, pets, and flammable materials.
Allow the plastic cup to cool completely before handling or disposing of it.
4. Safety
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep away from children and pets.
Keep away from curtains, fabrics, and other flammable materials.
Do not move a burning candle.
Stop using the candle when around 1-2 cm of wax remains at the bottom of the container.
