How to Get the Best From Your Candle: Expert Tips for Longer Burning

A beautiful candle deserves beautiful care. At Loch Fyne Candles, we want you to enjoy your soy candle to the fullest, every time you light it. Follow these expert tips to ensure a longer, cleaner, and more fragrant burn.

Trim the Wick: Always trim the wick to around 5mm before each use. This reduces soot, keeps the flame steady, and extends the candle’s life.

Create a Full Melt Pool: Let your candle burn until the melted wax reaches the edge of the jar, especially on the first burn. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn for the life of the candle.

Burn Time Matters: Avoid burning your candle for more than 3-4 hours at a time. This protects the wick and fragrance quality.

Storage Tips: Keep candles away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain their scent and appearance.

All Loch Fyne Candles are made using clean-burning soy wax and premium phthalate-free fragrance oils, designed for both beauty and sustainability.
