The Art of a Clean Burn
To help you get the best from your Whisper & Wick candle, from first light to final glow.
The Ritual of Care
Your First Burn
Allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface before extinguishing.This helps your candle burn cleanly and prevents tunnelling, your candle will thank you later.
Trim the Wick
Before each light, trim your wick to around 5 mm.A shorter wick keeps the flame steady, reduces smoke, and ensures a longer-lasting, cleaner burn.
Perfect Burn Window
Burn 2–4 hours at a time. Too short can tunnel; too long can overheat.
Keep It Level & Draft-Free
Place on a heat-safe, level surface away from drafts, curtains, and direct sunlight.

Clear the Pool
if you see mushrooming or debris, extinguish, let cool, then remove before relighting.
Gentle Extinguish
Use a snuffer or blow out softly. Avoid dipping the wick into wax unless you can re-center it.
Mind the Glass
Stop burning with ~1cm wax left. This protects the vessel from heat stress.
Space to Breathe
One candle per 60–90 sq ft is ideal. For larger rooms, light two for balanced throw.
