Candle Care Guide

Caring for your Candle Caring for your candle and following a few safety precautions will ensure you get the very best from your Kmart candle. Trimming the Candle Wick Always trim the wick of your candle to 5mm each time before lighting. Always remove any wick debris from the wax to help the candle burn evenly. Avoid Draughts It’s always best to place your candles away from and draughts as candles burn best in still air. Please also note that candles placed in draughts may also smoke. Placing Candles Together Candles should always be placed a minimum of 10cm apart to prevent burning issues Candles which are placed and burnt to close together will affect the burning behavior of the candles and may result in the candles not burning to their maximum burn times and in some cases, may even collapse. Maximum burn times Never leave a candle to burn longer than 3 hours at any time. Burning a candle for longer without allowing the wax to re-solidify could result in overheating. Putting Your Candle Out Blowing out your candle is not recommended as liquid wax may splatter and the wick of your candle may drift from the center. The best way to put out your candle is to use a candle snuffer.
