<h2><span style="font-size: small;">How Should I Care for my candle? </span></h2>
<p>Good candle care starts from the very first burn. Ensure that when you light your candle for the first time, you let it burn until the surface is completely liquid. Candles that have been blown out before all the surface wax has been melted are likely to tunnel, meaning you won’t get the most out of your new candle. Check each candle for instructions for minimum and maximum burning times, as these will vary with candle size.<br />If the wick shifts in your candle, you can reposition it while the wax is still warm but not hot.<br />When the candle has cooled, protect the surface with a cloche or bell jar to prevent dust from building up.<br />Candles should never be left unattended, and should always be kept away from pets, children, draughts and curtains.<br />Place a wooden base or small plate under your candle to protect the surface underneath.</p>
