Candle Care

 

You've made an investment when purchasing an Elke Candle and we want to make sure you get the most out of your candle from the first burn to the last and every burn in between.

Firstly when lighting your candle for the very first time, its super important to ensure that the whole wick is completely alight prior to removing the lit flame away from the wick, this ensures the wick is completely alight and can be the baseline for the best burn every time. 

Once the wick is fully alight, sit back and enjoy the ambience is creates as it burns and fills your space with beautiful fragrance. The next important step in the candle burning process is to ensure that the candle creates a melt pool that melts right out to the edge of the glass, this creates a "memory" for the candle to burn to. Extinguishing the candle prior to this will cause the candle to tunnel and not stay alight which results in wasting up to half of the candle.

The next important step with our candles is to ensure that the wood wick is trimmed prior to relighting. 

The trick for this is to get yourself a tissue, and place it over the wick, pinch the wick in-between the tissue and your fingers and you will feel the charcoal remnants of the wick break off and that's it!

By following these tips your candle will burn beautifully every time.
