GENERAL QUESTIONS

How to choose the right candle?

Consider its purpose and how long you plan to burn it.
Short burning time (e.g., breakfast, afternoon coffee) – choose a candle with a smaller diameter.
Long burning time (e.g., dinner, celebrations) – choose a larger candle suited for extended use.
Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations on the packaging.

Why should wax be free from foreign objects?

Debris like match remnants, wick parts, insects, etc., can disrupt proper burning:
They can act as a second wick, causing uneven burning or wax spilling.
They increase the risk of improper burning.

What to do if a candle smokes or flickers?

Trim the wick to about 1 cm.
Eliminate drafts.
If the candle has a high rim, gently trim the excess.

Why do candles sometimes drip?

Too high ambient temperature.
Drafts.
Candle positioned unevenly.

What to do if the candle burns unevenly?

Eliminate drafts.
Rotate the candle to even the flame.
Straighten the tilted wick gently.

Candle grouping – what to watch for?

Don’t place candles too close — they may overheat each other, causing dripping or warping.
Don’t place one candle above another — heat from the lower one disturbs the upper’s burning.
Always place candles on stable, heat-resistant holders.

What are “mushrooms” on the wick?

They are carbon build-ups (called “flowers”) that should be trimmed regularly to maintain clean burning and wax quality.

Can a candle be extinguished right after lighting?

No. The wick must first soak in wax, otherwise, it will keep going out.

How to extinguish candles properly?

Blow out the flame or use a snuffer.
Do not touch the wick.

Does “100% beeswax” guarantee full purity?

Yes. This label ensures the material’s authenticity.

Why do beeswax candles develop a film?

White bloom is a natural feature of beeswax and proof of authenticity — not a defect.

How to remove wax stains from fabric?

Place blotting paper on the stain.
Iron with a hot iron.
Repeat until all wax is absorbed.

Remaining stains may require dry cleaning.

Why do candles go out in grave lanterns?

Usually due to poor ventilation or incorrect candle size.

How to clean a candle holder from wax?

Warm the holder (e.g., in hot water with baking soda or dish soap).
Gently wipe away the softened wax.

Why does tunneling happen and how to avoid it?

Burn the candle until the entire surface melts. This ensures even burning and prevents tunneling.

Are scented candles safe?

Yes. All fragrances used:
Require no hazard labeling under CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Are safe for daily use.
Are carefully selected for quality and EU standards compliance.
