There is a method to burning our candles that will get the best from them.

• Trim the wick to 5mm, any shorter and the wax will ‘drown’ the wick. 
• Place the candle on a level, heatproof surface away from curtains, hanging objects etc. Never leave unattended once lit.
• The first time you light your candle is the most important; burn for 2-3 hours so that the surface of the wax is completely melted all the way over.

Soya wax has a memory and if you only light it for a short while and just melt a small circle it will remember that and only melt that width all the way down, wasting all the wax round the sides.

Burning our candles this way will use all the wax and the essential oils leaving virtually no residue in the jar.
