Guides

Candle Guide

When burning a candle, stick to these few rules to get the best results and overall burn time:

When lighting your Candle Mill candle for the first time, burn it for 3-4 hours. This is to ensure the first burn achieves as full a melt pool as possible - meaning that the wax has melted as much as possible from one side of the candle to the other. The reason behind this is that wax has a "memory" - when you buy a Candle Mill candle, the candle itself will have been curing for at least 2 weeks to allow the wax and perfume oil to set as hard as possible. When you light the candle for the first time the wax that melts in the melt pool will always be softer than the wax beneath it or surrounding it. Consequently, next time you light the candle, this wax will melt quicker than the rest and the harder wax will take longer to melt. If you don't leave your candle to burn for long enough on the first burn, the melt pool may be small and your candle may tunnel (burn down the centre of the candle leaving a lot of wax on the sides). Don't worry if for the first few burns your Candle Mill candle leaves a small amount of wax on the sides of the container as this wax will melt once the candle burns down through the container.
Each time you light the candle, try to leave it burning for 3-4 hours to obtain maximum lifespan. DON'T BURN FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS as the candle will get too hot and reduce it's lifespan.
Wick maintenance is key for perfect burning - trim the wick to around 5mm before each burn.

About The Candle Mill

Hello, my name is Clare and I have always loved candles.

Over the years I have been buying candles, I have struggled to find candles that give off a strong enough scent throw to perfume a room and this was my main aim with The Candle Mill - to produce candles and room fragrancing that gives a strong scent throw while not costing the earth (in more ways than one).

My products are aimed at the luxurious gift and self-care market and everything is lovingly handmade in my workshop in Solihull. I only use soy wax, the oils & bases I use are vegan friendly and cruelty free and the packaging is all recyclable where possible.

I chose to work with soy wax as it is a natural material derived from soybeans however, it does behave differently to paraffin wax which is what a lot of the big brands use. Paraffin wax is produced from crude oil and when burned produces a lot of toxins, some of which are carcinogenic. Soy wax is perfectly safe for us to burn in our homes and makes fantastic wax products. As it is a natural product you may find that on arrival or during use slight imperfections such as ridges or bumps appear on the candle or wax melt . These are caused by small, naturally occurring crystals within the wax and they do not affect the burn or quality of the candle or wax melt.

I appreciate the buying a candle or anything scented online is difficult if you are not familiar with the scents and because of this if you are uncertain, I would urge you to take advantage of the Tealight Trial so you can sample 4 of the scents before buying your candle, diffuser or room spray. If you choose to do this, I will give you a discount on your chosen candle or diffuser purchase.

If you need any help or guidance on my products, please do get in touch with me and I will try to assist you.

Thank you for stopping by The Candle Mill, it is much appreciated,

Clare xx
