Safety Precautions
Before using the candle, please ensure that you follow these safety precautions:
- Keep the candle within sight at all times.
- Place the candle on a flat and heat-resistant surface to prevent accidental tipping or heat damage.
- Keep the candle away from drafts, children, pets, flammable materials, and other heat sources.
- Do not move or handle the candle while it is burning or while the wax is hot.
- Only move the candle once the flame is extinguished, and the wax has completely cooled.
Allowing the Wax to Pool
To ensure an even burn and maximize the fragrance release, allow the wax to pool during each use. This means letting the melted wax reach the edges of the container or form a wide pool before extinguishing the flame. This process usually takes approximately 1-2 hours depending on the size of the candle.
Trimming the Wick
Trimming the wick is essential to maintain a clean burn and prevent excessive smoke or soot. Follow these steps to trim the wick:
- Before lighting the candle, ensure the wick is trimmed to approximately 6mm in length.
- Use a wick trimmer or scissors to carefully trim the wick, removing any excess length.
- Dispose of the trimmed wick properly.
Knowing When to Say Goodbye
When there is approximately 6mm of wax remaining in the candle, it is time to stop using it. Follow these steps to safely extinguish and dispose of the candle:
- Extinguish the candle when only 6mm of wax remains.
- Allow the candle to cool completely before handling.
- Follow your local recycling center’s guidance to recycle the candle container.
Alternatively, you can upcycle your empty candle container into something useful for your home.

WoodWick® Candle Care Tips
WoodWick® candles can display different burning characteristics than other
candles, so here’s a few simple steps to enjoy the best burn every time.
Allow the wax to pool
- You will experience the best burn results when the candle remains lit for 3-4 hours. For the Ellipse candles with Hearthwick® Flame, light the wick on one end and allow the flame to flow naturally across the wick.
- Make sure that the wax melts to the edge of the candle before extinguishing it – this may take between 30 to 60 minutes.
- Allowing the wax to pool will discourage ‘tunneling’ or leaving wax on the sides of the vessel.
- The flame height may vary at times and occasionally even appear to self extinguish, but this is normal. Even if you are experiencing a ‘low’ flame, it will continue to heat and the flame height should return.
- Keep the candle within sight and away from drafts. Always place the candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface, and make sure to keep the candles away from children, pets, flammable materials and other heat sources.
- Never move or handle the candle while it’s burning or while the wax is hot. To be safe, only move your candle once the flame is extinguished and the wax has completely cooled.
Know when to ‘trim’ the wick
- For the Hourglass candles, the wick should be trimmed to 6mm before each use.
- Due to the nature of the Ellipse candles, you should not need to trim the wick. The only exception is when the flame exceeds 25mm or the candle begins to smoke.
- If you need to trim the wick, carefully extinguish the candle, allow the wick and wax to cool and trim the wick to 6mm by gently breaking off the burnt edges with a cloth or paper napkin.
- Safely remove and discard all wick trimmings and debris before relighting the candle.
Know when to say goodbye
When there is approximately 6mm of wax remaining, it is time to stop using your candle. Extinguish the candle when 6mm or wax remains and recycle it according to your local recycling centre’s guidance.
Alternatively, why not give your empty candle a new lease of life and upcycle your empty candle in to something for your home.
