Candle Care

Candle Care Guide

Welcome to the refined art of candle care. At Lord Lancaster™, we believe that enjoying our luxury candles is an experience that extends beyond the mere act of lighting a wick. It's about curating an atmosphere, enveloping your space in elegance, and ensuring the longevity of your sophisticated scent journey. Follow our essential guide to candle care to elevate each moment.

The First Burn

The initial burn sets the stage for your candle's life. Allowing your candle to burn for 4 hours, prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout its life. It's the first step in a ritual that transforms your space with a seductive fragrance and elegant ambiance.

Trim the Wick

Before each lighting, trim the wick to 1/4 inch. A proper wick length helps control the flame size, promoting an even burn and preventing soot buildup on the glass. It's a simple act that enhances the burn quality and fragrance distribution, ensuring your luxury candle performs beautifully.

Allow to Cool

After basking in the sophisticated fragrance of your candle, ensure it's given time to cool before re-lighting. This pause allows the wax to settle and solidify, maintaining a smooth surface for the next enchanting experience.  We suggest letting the candle rest a full day between burns.

Smoke-Free Extinguishing

To maintain the pure elegance of your experience, extinguish your candle without smoke. Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax and then straighten. This method preserves the integrity of the fragrance and the serene ambiance you've cultivated.

Safety & Placement

Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable materials. Use the included leather coaster/dust cover to set your candle on to help prevent damaging furniture.  Never leave a burning candle unattended, ensuring your space remains a sanctuary of sophistication and safety.

Cleaning and Reuse

Once your candle has been fully enjoyed, the vessel can embark on a second life. Clean it with warm water and soap to transform it into a sophisticated holder for trinkets or fresh blooms, continuing the cycle of elegance.

Storing Your Candles

Store your candles in a cool, dark place when not in use. This preserves the integrity of the wax and fragrance, ensuring your candle remains a seductive and elegant accent, ready to transform any moment.
