Looking after your candles
By following the guidelines below, you’re guaranteed to get the most out of your favourite scents. INFINITE SCENTS candles are hand-poured using natural soy wax, creating candles with an opaque finish and strengthening the fragrance throw.
Burn your candle for a minimum of two hours, or until the wax has melted to the edge of the glass. This helps to imprint the candle’s memory and prevent an uneven burn.
Keep your candle burning gently by trimming the wick to ¼ inch. A wick that’s too long will smoke and burn faster, while a wick that’s too short won’t burn as well. A beautiful even burn is all about balance.
Let your candle cool before relighting, and before cutting the ball at the end of the wick.
Maintain regular trimming to help keep wick ‘mushrooming’ at bay.
Keep your candles away from direct sunlight and other heat sources. A candle left in direct sunlight may lose its scent and discolour.
To avoid a larger flame, never burn your candle for longer than four hours.
If your candle is creating an uneven burn, adjust the wick back to the centre of the jar, or closer to the side that needs more heat.
If black discolouration occurs inside the jar, simply wipe away with a damp cloth.
Never leave your candles unattended, and always keep away from children and pets.
Always place your candles on a heat-resistant surface that’s stable and level.
It’s normal for the soy wax to change in colour and develop a subtly dusty layer over time. This won’t affect the burn or scent of your candles. Once your final burn is complete, cleaning out your candle jar is almost effortless. To remove the remaining wax, simply wipe it out with hot water and dispose of excess wax in the bin (and not down the drain!). Once your jar is clean and dry, the possibilities for repurposing are endless.
