Candle Care
Lavish & Ivy uses premium quality glassware, fragrance and natural soy wax. The products are biodegradable, eco friendly and paraffin free using 100% cotton wicks and eco friendly packaging to support sustainable living & our environment. Treat your candles with the love they deserve by following a few simple guidelines…
When lighting for the first time burn until wax melts across entire surface to the sides of vessel (this prevents tunneling and creates an even clean burn for the duration of the candle’s ‘life’). This may take up to 2-4 hours.
Trim wick to 5mm before each burn to promote an even clean burn, steady flame and limit sooting/mushrooming of wick.
Do not cover with wooden candle lid to extinguish flame.
Use the melted wax to drip over the flame to extinguish safely.

If soot forms on the inside of vessel, extinguish candle, wait for it to cool, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Trim wick and relight.
Extinguish a candle if it smokes, flickers, or the flame becomes too high. These signs indicate the candle is not burning properly and the flame isn’t controlled. Let the candle cool, trim the wick, then check for draft before re-lighting.
