Candle Care

Our candles are crafted with care to bring quiet luxury and calm to your space. To preserve their beauty and ensure a clean, even burn, please follow these simple care instructions.

Before You Light

  • Trim the Wick: Always trim the wick to ¼ inch (6mm) before lighting. This promotes a clean, even flame and prevents soot. Whilst all of our candle vessels use premium double wick, there will be times where you will need to trim

  • The First Burn: Allow the wax to melt across the entire surface before extinguishing. This helps your candle burn evenly every time.

  • Clean Surface: Make sure the wax is free of dust or debris before lighting.

While Burning

  • Burn Time: Enjoy your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time.

  • Stay Present: Never leave a burning candle unattended or near drafts, fabrics, or pets.

  • Stable Surface: Place on a heat-resistant, level surface.

After You Burn

  • Extinguish Gently: Use a snuffer or blow softly to put out the flame. Avoid splashing wax.

  • Recentre the Wick: While the wax is warm, reposition the wick to the centre.

  • Reuse with Intention: Stop burning when ½ inch (1 cm) of wax remains. Clean and repurpose your vessel for modern, mindful living.

Candle Etiquette

Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Natural wax may develop a soft frost - this is a sign of purity and craftsmanship.

Safety

Always follow standard candle safety practices. Your safety and your peace of mind come first.

🌿 Refined. Conscious. Timeless.

 

Caring for Your CENW Home Jesmonite Piece

Your jesmonite piece is handcrafted and unique - no two are exactly alike. With a little care, it will remain a beautiful part of your home for years to come.

🤍 Keep it dry - Jesmonite is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to water or moisture. Do not submerge or soak.

🤍 Clean gently — Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

🤍 Handle with care -Although durable, jesmonite can chip if dropped. Treat it as you would any treasured ceramic piece.

🤍 Avoid direct sunlight -Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause slight colour fading over time.

🤍 Not dishwasher safe - Always hand wipe only.

🤍 Candle holders - If using as a candle holder, always place a protective disc or felt pad underneath to protect the surface from heat.

Each piece is handmade in small batches, meaning slight variations in colour, texture and finish are completely natural - and part of what makes yours one of a kind.
