Candle Care & Safety

At ESSENZA HOUSE, every candle is crafted with an unwavering commitment to time-honored traditions, placing significant emphasis on quality, design and meticulous hand craftsmanship. To ensure longevity and proper burning of your candle, we urge you to follow the safety guidelines and candle care instructions.

Always burn within sight

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Limit your burn time to a maximum of 4 hours

Burn on a stable, heat resistant surface away from flammable materials and avoid drafts.

Do not move a burning candle.

Remove any debris or residue from the candle pool prior to use.

Always use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame. Extinguish the candle when 10mm of unmelted wax remains at

the bottom of your candle. Do not relight as candle life is complete at this stage. You can clean it out and re-purpose your candle vessel.

Always trim the wick to 6mm tall  before every burn. Ensure wick is trimmed and in an upright position before every use.

To create a candle memory & prevent tunnelling, the first time to light your candle, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the vessel. Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at any time.

To get the best performance and longevity out of your ESSENZA HOUSE candle make sure you never let the candle flame to come in contact with the sides of the glass. Ensure that all wicks are lit together on every occasion when the candle is in use. Ensure wicks are properly trimmed to prevent soot from forming on the vessel.

Never introduce liquids, foreign objects, wick trimmings, matches or any other flammable materials into the candle.

Always use a candle snuffer to safely extinguish the flame.
