Soy candles are a beautiful way to create warmth and atmosphere in your home. However, many people don’t realise that small burning habits can dramatically affect how long a candle lasts.

In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to make your soy candle last longer and get the most value from our soy wax candles collection.

Let the Wax Melt Fully on the First Burn

The first burn is the most important. Always allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the container. This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn throughout the candle’s life.

Trim the Wick to 6mm Before Each Burn

Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to around 6mm. A long wick causes uneven burning, soot build-up and reduces burn time.

Avoid Burning in Drafty Areas

Keep candles away from fans, open windows and air conditioning. Drafts cause uneven melting and waste wax.
