Candle Care

Our candles are handmade using natural soy and coconut wax. Each one may vary slightly and we work with pride over perfection. Consistency may vary, but know there is loads of love poured into them.

  We are Vegan friendly, not tested on animals and use lead free cotton wicks

 

Commonfolk’s most important tips!

For best results trim wick before burning and do not burn longer than 3 hours at a time.

For an even burn, allow the melt pool to reach across to the edges before extinguishing.

Allowing it to burn all the way to the sides, means you don't waste the soy wax on the sides. If you blow your candle out before it melts all the way across to the side, then every burn will only make it that far also.

Never leave or move a lit candle.

Always keep out of reach of children and pets.

Place the candle on a stable, heat resistant surface.

Avoid exposure to drafts.

Never leave a lit candle unattended.

Caution: may become hot to touch.

At the end of combustion, a variable quantity of wax may remain.

Failure to follow instructions could result in fire, hazard or injury

Always store the candle in a cool dry place, away from sunlight.

Discontinue burning when there is 1cm of wax left in the jar. Wash and re-use

 

Re-use our custom made jar.

When finished burning your candle, wash out any left over soy wax and use your gorgeous jar for tea bags in the kitchen, q-tips in the bathroom or mints at your desk.

To clean:

1.Pour boiling water and let the candle cool until left over wax has floated to the top and hardened and easy to grab out.  

2.Then wash with warm soapy water 

or

1. Put the jar in the freezer for 3 hours

2. Use a butter knife and chip the remaining wax out.

3. Then wash with warm soapy water 

Be careful not tip wax down your sink.
