FAQ
What type of wax are these candles made with?
These Kitchen Scented Candles utilise a paraffin wax blend for optimal scent throw and burn quality. The wax is designed to provide a steady flame and release the fragrance effectively.
How long do the candles typically burn?
Generally, each candle will burn for approximately 20-30 hours on a continuous burn, depending on factors like wick trimming and room temperature.
Do I need to trim the wick before burning them?
Yes, it’s crucial to trim the wick to 5mm (1/4 inch) before each use. This ensures a clean, even burn and prevents excessive smoking or flickering.
What is the recommended burn time for the first light?
Allow the candle to burn undisturbed for at least one hour on its initial lighting. This creates a 'memory ring' which allows for a more even melt pool during subsequent burns.
Can I burn these candles in a humid environment?
While they can be burned in humid environments, it might slightly affect the burn time and scent throw. Ensure good ventilation and avoid placing near steam or excessive moisture.
What safety precautions should I take when burning candles?
Always place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep them out of reach of children and pets.
How do I extinguish the candle safely?
We recommend extinguishing the candle by gently blowing it out rather than using a snuffer to avoid disrupting the wax pool and affecting the burn quality.
Can I use different types of containers with these candles?
While we recommend our supplied ceramic vessels, you can use other heat-safe containers like glass jars. However, ensure the container is stable and suitable for candle burning.
Do these candles have a strong scent?
The scents are designed to be noticeable but not overpowering. They are formulated to blend well with kitchen aromas without competing or creating an unpleasant odour.
Are these candles suitable as gifts?
Absolutely! These Kitchen Scented Candles make a thoughtful and practical gift for any home cook or lover of fresh scents, particularly during the festive season.
