Your Guide to Complete Candle Care - 2 (Mould Candles)

Mould candles, often known for their intricate shapes and sizes, require different care. Here are tips to keep your mould candles looking and burning their best:

1. Trim the Wick

• Just like with glass jar candles, keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch to ensure a steady, even flame and reduce soot.

2. Use a Proper Holder

• Place moulded candles on a heat-resistant, stable holder to catch any drips and prevent damage to surfaces.

3. Burn Evenly

• Rotate the candle occasionally to ensure even burning and to maintain its shape.

4. Avoid Drafts

• Keep moulded candles away from drafts to prevent uneven burning and dripping.

5. Monitor Burn Time

• Moulded candles can burn differently than jar candles. Pay attention to the burn pattern and extinguish if the flame becomes too high or if the candle starts to deform excessively.

6. Safe Extinguishing

• Use a snuffer to extinguish moulded candles, which helps keep the wick straight and centered for future burns.

7. Store Properly

• Store moulded candles in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause them to warp or fade.

8. Handle with Care

• When moving or repositioning moulded candles, do so carefully. Their intricate designs can be fragile, and rough handling may cause cracks or breaks.

General Candle Safety Tips

• Never Leave Unattended: Always keep a burning candle within sight.

• Keep Away from Children and Pets: Ensure candles are out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidents.

• Place on Stable Surfaces: Always place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface to avoid tipping and heat damage.

• Maintain a Safe Distance: Keep candles away from flammable materials such as curtains, books, and paper.
