Discover how to care for your Glasshouse Fragrances Flower Show 380g scented candle. Tips on burn time, wick care, and achieving an even, fragrant pool.
Quick answer
For the best burn and fragrance from your Flower Show 380g candle, trim the wick to 5mm before each use, let the wax pool reach the edges on the first burn (about 3-4 hours), and never burn longer than 4 hours at a time.
Why candle care matters for the Flower Show
The Flower Show candle is crafted with a natural lead-free cotton wick and a high-quality soy blend wax. Proper care ensures you get the full, intensely fragrant experience of blossoms and blooms without tunneling or soot.
A well-maintained candle burns more evenly, lasts longer, and fills your room with a consistent floral scent.
Flower Show candle care FAQ
- How long should I burn the candle on the first use?
- Burn it until the entire top layer of wax is melted to the edges of the glass. This usually takes 3-4 hours. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn for future uses.
- How do I trim the wick correctly?
- Before each burn, trim the wick to about 5mm (1/4 inch). Use a wick trimmer or scissors. A longer wick can cause a high flame, soot, and uneven burning. Always trim before lighting, even if the candle is new.
- How long can I burn the candle at one time?
- Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time. After 4 hours, extinguish the flame, let the wax cool for 2 hours, then trim the wick before relighting.
- How do I avoid soot on the glass?
- Keep the wick trimmed to 5mm and avoid drafts. If soot appears, wipe the glass with a dry cloth once the candle is cool. The natural cotton wick and soy wax minimize soot buildup anyway.
- What should I do if the wax pool is not reaching the edges?
- If you notice tunneling (wax only melting in the center), extinguish the candle, let it cool, and trim the wick. On the next burn, let it melt for a longer session (up to 4 hours) until the pool reaches the glass edge. Consistent burn times prevent tunneling.
- How do I store the Flower Show candle between uses?
- Keep the candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Cover it with its original lid or a dust cover to protect the wax and fragrance from dust and air.
