Candle Care

A little care goes a long way.

To enjoy your Fig & Willow candle at its best, follow these simple candle care tips for a clean, even and beautifully scented burn.

FIRST BURN
On the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface of the candle. This helps prevent tunnelling and encourages an even burn throughout the life of your candle.

TRIM YOUR WICK
Before each burn, trim the wick to approximately 5mm. A properly trimmed wick helps create a steady flame and reduces smoking, soot and excessive flame height.

BURN WITH CARE
For the best performance, we recommend burning your candle for approximately 2–4 hours at a time. Avoid burning for longer than four hours.

KEEP IT STILL
Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from draughts, open windows, fans and air conditioning. This helps your candle burn evenly and safely.

KNOW WHEN TO SAY GOODBYE
Stop burning your candle when approximately 10mm of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel. Never burn a candle all the way to the base.

A FEW IMPORTANT THINGS
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets and flammable materials. Do not move the candle while lit or while the wax is still hot. Always allow the vessel to cool completely before handling.
