Guava & Lychee Sorbet Metro Candle - 280g

While not much thought is given to the burning technique of your candle, there are a few tips and tricks to follow to ensure you make the most of your candle.

Burn your ECOYA candle for a minimum of an hour, or until the wax pool reaches the edge of the vessel.

Burning your candle to the edge of the vessel will prevent tunnelling. By burning your candle so the wax pool reaches the edge of the jar, it will mean that all subsequent burns will burn evenly, therefore maximising burning time.

Extinguishing your candle - To extinguish, use a snuffer or blow it out gently. This will eliminate black sooty particles from getting stuck in the wax.

Do not use liquid or the lid to extinguish your candle (the lid is not a snuffer).

Our ECOYA Metro Candles have a burn time of up to 55 hours.

Yes! The glass vessels we use to make our candles are recyclable.

There are a few important steps that need to be taken before the glass can be put into your recycling bin though, this includes removing any remaining wax as well as the wick tab from the vessel.

In order to do this, we suggest the following; When your candle has around 10mm of wax remaining, pop it in the freezer for a day or two. This will shrink the remaining wax, separating it from the glass. Hold the candle upside down and give it a good tap on the bottom of the vessel. The remaining wax and wick tab should drop out.

It is also important to ensure the vessel is completely clean from any waxy residue before putting into your recycle bin. The best way to do this is to use warm, soapy water and a gentle cloth to wipe out any remaining wax.

Alternatively, we also encourage re-using the vessel. They are great to store cotton buds, make up brushes, and make for perfect desk accessory to store your stationery.
