Candle Care

Just like us, candles need care and attention to get the best out of them. Below we've added some steps to get the best out of your JAQ Candle. 

  1. Always keep an eye on your while it's burning to ensure maximum enjoyment and safety.
  2. Always place your candle on a level, heat resistant surface and 10cm away from any other objects. 
  3. Avoid placing your candle near flammable objects.
  4. Burn your candle out of reach of children. 
  5. Burn your candles for no more than 4 hours at a time to prevent mushrooming. 
  6. Do not allow the candle flame to touch the glass. 
  7. Keep the wick upright and above the wax before lighting the wick. 
  8. Always trim your wick to 5mm before burning your candle (apart from on the first burn!). This prevents the flame from becoming too high and prevents mushrooming. 
  9. Be cautious when handling your candle, as the glass may be hot during or after burning the candle. 
  10. Extinguish when 5mm of wax remains. Ensure the wick is not lit before disposing of your candle. 
  11. If you would like to remove any remaining wax from the glass jar to then recycle it, an easy way to do this is to freeze the candle by putting it in your freezer. This will cause the wax to shrink which can then be easily removed.
