At The Gold Snap, we want you to enjoy your candles safely and get the best possible performance from every burn. Please read and follow these care and safety instructions before use.

​

Before Lighting

• Remove all packaging before use.

• Always place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

• Keep candles away from drafts, fans, curtains, bedding, paper, and other flammable materials.

• Ensure the candle is placed upright during use.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

​

Wick Care

• Trim the wick to approximately 5mm before every burn.

• Remove any wick trimmings, matches, or debris from the wax before lighting.

• A properly trimmed wick helps prevent:

  • Excessive flame height

  • Smoking or soot

  • Uneven burning

  • Overheating

​

First Burn Matters

To help prevent tunnelling:

• Allow the wax melt pool to reach close to the edge of the container on the first burn.

• This usually takes between 2–4 hours depending on candle size.

• Do not burn for longer than 4 hours at a time.

​

While Burning

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

• Never move a candle while hot or lit.

• Keep candles at least 10cm apart when burning multiple candles.

• Stop use when approximately 10mm of wax remains at the bottom of the container.

• Extinguish the candle if the flame becomes too large, flickers excessively, or produces smoke.

​

Extinguishing Your Candle

• Use a candle snuffer where possible.

• Avoid blowing aggressively as hot wax may splatter.

• Ensure the flame is completely extinguished before leaving the room.

​

Glass/Metal Container Warning

Candle containers may become hot during use.

• Allow the candle to cool completely before touching or moving.

• Do not use if the container is cracked, chipped, or damaged.

• Never place a hot candle directly onto cold or wet surfaces.

​

Storage

For best results:

• Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Avoid excessive heat exposure which may affect fragrance and wax appearance.
