Candle Care & Longevity Guide.
At SB HOUSE, our fragrances are crafted with the finest traditions, and we place the highest value on quality, design, and hand craftsmanship. We recommend the following care ritual to ensure the longevity and purity of your candle experience.
The First Burn: Setting the Wax Memory
To get the most out of your SB HOUSE candle, the first burn is essential. Wax has a 'memory,' meaning it will only melt as far as it did during the first lighting.
Burn your candle until the entire surface of the wax melts evenly to the edge of the vessel.
Do not extinguish the flame until a full melt pool has been achieved.
The Ritual: Maintaining a Perfect Burn
Wick Trimming: To ensure an even, clean, and smoke-free burn, the wick should be meticulously trimmed to a length of 3–5mm each time before lighting.
Burn Time: To preserve the integrity and richness of the fragrance, do not burn your candle for more than four hours at a time.
Re-lighting: If you leave your candle burning longer than four hours, extinguish the flame, trim the wick to 3–5mm, and then re-light it.
Safety & Preservation
Discontinuation: Discontinue use when approximately 10mm (1cm) of wax remains. This prevents the glass vessel from overheating and cracking.
Surface Protection: Always protect the table or surface on which the candle rests.
Never Leave Unattended: Candles should never be left burning unattended. Keep away from children, curtains, and pets.
