Question: Can you share with us your top tips for getting more mileage out of our favourite candles?
Nancy Sacco: Before you burn your candle, trim the wick to the length specified on the label. Burn your candle for two-four hours at a time and keep the lid on your candle when it's not in use. Retrim your wick before burning again. Keep your burning candle away from drafts.
Question: Why is it important to trim the wicks of our candles?
Nancy Sacco: Keeping wicks trimmed helps candles perform at their best. You'll get the best fragrance throw and having the correct flame height will minimise sooting.
Question: Do we need wick-scissors for candles?
Nancy Sacco: No, but we do offer wick trimmers that are especially designed to keep wicks at the right length and keep the trimmed-off wick from falling back into the candle.
Question: How can we ensure we're choosing the perfect scented candle, for our home?
Nancy Sacco: Choosing the right fragrance is all about your personal preference. As for selecting a size, the larger the space you'd like the fragrance, the larger the candle you'll want to try.
Question: What is the best way to store candles?
Nancy Sacco: They're safe to store anywhere in your home but keep them away from sources of heat and direct sunlight. We'd also recommend you keep your candle free of dust and dirt by keeping the lid on between burns.
