It's important to take candle care seriously

​

​
NEVER leave a burning candle unattended

​

Make sure you allow your candles to cure 2 weeks before using

Trim the wick to 5mm

Make sure your candle is on a heat resistant surface, out of reach of children and pets. 

 

Ensure when burning your candle for the first time, allow the wax to melt to the very edge of your vessel.

This sets a ‘memory’, which will result in a clean and even burn each time you light your candle. 

Ensure no dust on top before burning

​​

Never leave your candle burning without being present, and for no longer than 2–3 hours at a time.

​​​​

Never leave your candle unattended when lit

​​

Always trim your wick to 5mm before lighting your candle to ensure you receive maximum burn time and also to avoid ‘mushrooming’ of the wick, large flickering flames and black smoke.

​​

Don’t position under ceiling fans or vents. 

​​

Do not add crystal, essential oils other oils, flowers or anything else to the candles​

​​

Do not move the candle once it’s lit.

​​

Always check, if the vessel is getting too hot, extinguish flame and allow to cool

Always keep an eye on a lit candle and do not leave a burning candle

​​

Always check if there is fragrance oil beading or pooling on top or it soaks the wick before lighting, that's a fire risk. The oil has not adhered to the wax. DO NOT BURN

​​

Always place away from direct sunlight and extremely warm temperatures. 

​​

Always discontinue use once wax is approx. 1-2cm from the bottom of the vessel  

​​

You can re-use your candle vessel, 

Wash out any leftover wax with warm water and detergent.

​​

When making your own candles ensure you only use reputable premium grade vessels, wax and fragrance that are certified for candle making.

Do your own research and education before making candles as there are so many different methods

Do Not exceed recommended formulas, ensure you abide by legal requirements and safety issues with candle making 

 

At Botanical Lane we only use 100% pure soy wax (S100) and premium grade fragrances from Luxury Candle Supplies in Melbourne. Education training was done with Blossom Lifestyle in Melbourne with mentoring.

​

Ensure you do your own research, test all candles and do your own training and research before starting. Botanical Lane workshops are only a quick demonstration and guide and are not a certified teaching establishment.
