Caring For Your Candles
- Try not to put the candle in the sun or hold it in your hands for a long time; ELSOLALUNAs candles are very sensitive to heat and can start to melt before your eyes.
- Before lighting a candle (when using it again), be sure to cut the wick a little bit so that you will avoid an unpleasant smell for the first moments; it is the decayed wick that distorts the scent of your favorite candle.
- Also, if the candle crackles, the wick does not burn out, it is charring, the candle must be extinguished, and the wick cut off again.
- If you choose to burn a candle on a plate or other stand and cannot easily clean it. Here’s a easy trick: Just pop the item in the freezer for about 10 min, and the wax will come off straight away.
- Lastly, if wax accidentally gets on your clothes or furniture, don’t worry, just wipe the surface with hot water and a little bit of soap; even strong detergents are not needed.
