Enjoy your Candles By Mel & Co fragrance collection with care. Find the instructions for your product below.
✨ Display & Surface Care
We recommend styling your candle or reed diffuser on a decorative tray, plate, or coaster to protect furniture and delicate surfaces. Fragrance oils, heat, and natural residue may affect certain finishes, so always wipe spills immediately and display on a stable, level surface. For candles, always use a heat-resistant surface.
Fragrance oils may damage polished, painted, sealed, or delicate surfaces if spilled.
🤍 Thoughtfully displayed, your fragrance piece becomes both a beautiful home accent and a lasting part of your space.
🤍 Matte White Collection Candle Care
For Medium, Large & Mini Bowl Candles
Thank you for choosing Candles By Mel & Co. To enjoy the best performance from your candle, please follow these care instructions.
First Burn
Allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface on the first burn. This helps prevent tunnelling and promotes an even burn throughout the life of your candle. Keep within the burn-time guidelines below.
Trim Your Wicks
Before each burn, trim wicks to approximately 5mm. This helps maintain a clean flame, reduces soot, and prolongs the life of your candle.
Burn Time Guidelines
- Medium Candle: Burn for 2–3 hours at a time.
- Large Candle: Burn for 3–4 hours at a time.
- Mini Bowl Candle: Burn for 2–4 hours at a time.
Avoid burning for longer than 4 hours in a single session.
Multi-Wick Care
For Large and Mini Bowl candles, always light all wicks at the same time and extinguish all wicks together. This ensures an even wax pool and prevents uneven burning.
Keep Wax Clean
Keep the wax surface free from wick trimmings, matches, dust, and other debris.
Safe Burning
Place candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, curtains, children, pets, and flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
When to Stop Burning
Discontinue use when approximately 10mm of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.
Repurpose Your Vessel
Once your candle has finished and completely cooled, wash the vessel with warm soapy water and repurpose it as a planter, storage container, or decorative piece.
