Candle Care
A few quiet habits that make your candle last longer and burn cleaner.
Before each burn
Trim the wick to about 5mm. A short wick gives a calm, even flame.
The first burn
Let the wax melt close to the edge on the first burn — two to three hours. Wax has memory, and this sets it.
While burning
Burn within sight, away from children, pets and draughts. Never move a lit or warm urli — brass holds heat.
Floating candles
Float them in room-temperature water, or place them in a diya. Lift them out after use and towel-dry before storing.
When to stop
Stop burning when about 1cm of wax remains at the base.
