CANDLE BURNING INSTRUCTIONS:
HOW TO ENJOY YOUR CANDLE TO THE FULLEST?
Natural materials guarantee the highest quality—but they do require special care. Follow our burning instructions to extend your candle’s burn time and ensure safe use.
TRIMMING THE WICK
Before each use, trim the wick to about 0.5 cm above the wax surface. This simple step ensures an even burn, maintains an optimal flame height, and prevents sooting.
BURNING YOUR CANDLE
For the very first burn, allow your candle to run for about 3–4 hoursso that the wax melts evenly across the entire surface. This prevents unwanted tunneling and ensures uniform burning in the future.
Also, keep the area free of drafts from open windows or doors to maintain a stable flame. Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time— this helps prevent the wax and glass from overheating,
ensuring both quality and safety.
EXTINGUISHING
When it’s time to put out your candle, extinguish it by covering the wick with a snuffer instead of blowing it out. This avoids smoke and wax splatters.
If the wick crumbles, gently remove any fragments from the wax surface to keep the burn clean.
CARING FOR YOUR CANDLE
If you notice uneven burning, extinguish the flame and, while the wax is still warm and soft, re-center the wick using a long tool (like a toothpick).
Never burn your candle completely down; always leave about 8–10 mm of wax at the bottom to prevent the glass from overheating and risking damage.
WHAT'S NEXT?
After the candle has finished burning, remove the remaining wax from the container by filling the glass with hot water. After a few minutes, the wax will soften and can be easily wiped away with a paper towel. Then, repurpose the glass as a home organizer, a chic flower vase cover, or even as a decorative lantern.
UPCYCLING - GIVE IT A SECOND CHANCE
Our candle glass is too special to go to waste—it deserves a new purpose. Repurpose it as a flower pot, a beauty organizer, a snack container, or an elegant vase for fresh flowers.
RECYCLING - EXCHANGE IT FOR A NEW CANDLE
You can send back the glass from your burned-out ICONS candle! In return, you’ll receive a discount on a new LEISURE candle. The glass will be cleaned, repurposed, and given a new life—while you reduce your carbon footprint.
