FAQ

What makes a candle ‘mid-range’?

In this category, we’ve focused on candles and diffusers with a price point generally between £15 and £40. This range offers a good balance of quality ingredients and attractive design without the premium costs associated with luxury brands.

How long do reed diffusers typically last?

The lifespan of a reed diffuser varies depending on factors like room size, humidity, and the type of reeds used. Generally, you can expect a reed diffuser to provide 30-60 days of continuous fragrance with regular refreshing of the reeds.

What’s the best way to care for my candles?

To maximize burn time and scent throw, always allow the wax pool to melt fully across the surface before extinguishing. Trim the wick to 5mm regularly and avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time.

Can I use different types of reeds in a reed diffuser?

Yes, you can experiment with different types of reeds – glass or rattan – to see which provides the best scent diffusion. Rattan reeds tend to provide a stronger scent throw initially but may need replacing more frequently than glass reeds.

How do I clean up wax spills from my furniture?

For small spills, gently wipe with a dry cloth. For stubborn residue, use a hairdryer on low heat to soften the wax before wiping carefully with a damp cloth – test in an inconspicuous area first.

What’s the best way to store candles?

Store your candles in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This will help preserve the fragrance oils and prevent the wax from melting or discoloring.

Do I need special wicks for certain candle types?

Most standard soy or paraffin candles use standard wicks, however some premium blends may benefit from a cotton wick to ensure optimal burning performance. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations before purchasing.

How does room size affect scent throw?

Larger rooms require more fragrance output, so consider using multiple reed diffusers or larger candles to achieve a noticeable scent. Smaller rooms will typically be adequately scented by a single candle or diffuser.

What is the typical burn time of a standard wax candle?

A standard 8oz (236ml) soy or paraffin wax candle usually burns for approximately 50-60 hours, but this can vary depending on factors such as wick size and burning conditions.

Where can I find information about the manufacturer's warranty?

Warranty details are provided directly by the individual product manufacturers and sellers (like Amazon) on their respective product pages. Please refer to the product description and specifications for full warranty terms.
