Caring for Your Glasshouse Scented Candles
Before you light your new candle for the first time, there’s a couple of important things to know.
- Prolong the life of your candle and prevent sooting by keeping the wick trimmed to 7 mm.
- Also, if you prefer a more subtle scent, instead of lighting the wick, simply remove the lid to let your candle gently fragrance the air.
