Candle Care Instructions

Handcrafted by Rustic Candles Australia

To enjoy a clean, long-lasting and beautiful burn, please follow these simple care steps:

First Burn Matters

• Allow your candle to melt all the way to the edges on the first burn (usually 2–3 hours).

This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn every time.

Trim Your Wick

• Trim the wick to 4–5mm before each burn.

• This keeps the flame steady and prevents soot or mushrooming.

Burn Time

• Burn for 2–4 hours max at a time.

• Never leave a candle burning unattended.

Safety First

• Keep away from children, pets, curtains and drafts.

• Place candle on a heat-resistant surface.

• Stop burning when 10mm of wax remains.

Storage

• Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect colour and fragrance.
