No, we don’t have those products in our range. Different holders can be used in the production of tea-warmers. We use only aluminium containers, because we have found that they best comply with the strict requirements that we define for our candles.
It’s very important to use our candles properly so that you can get the most out of them. For example, did you know that you should always place our rustic candles at least 10 centimetres from each other to prevent them from leaking?
It is not necessary to rotate the sticks. The quality of the sticks in our reed diffusers is so good that they distribute a lovely scent in your home for several weeks.
Yes, the label should be removed before using the candle.
No, the so-called bottom label of the candle does not need to be removed.
We recommend that you place three to five full pieces of meltable wax in the burner. Three pieces produce a subtle result, five pieces produce a powerful scent.
There are a number of different ways to clean the burner:
It is important to make sure there is a sufficiently large distance between the candles (at least 10 cm). Always burn the candles in a suitable holder or on a fire-resistant coaster.
First remove any loose pieces of wax by hand. Then lay a sheet of kitchen paper on the remainder of the wax stain and run over it with a hot iron. The candle wax will stick to the kitchen paper. If the stains are on a smooth surface, a hair-drier is an effective way of melting the candle wax. You can then remove it with kitchen paper.
Safety is a top priority for us. That is why all our candles display symbols that explain how to use the candle correctly.
The best way to put out our candles is with a candle snuffer, which you should hold over the wick as far as the liquid wax. The wick then stops burning without an afterglow, it doesn’t break off and it is covered with new candle wax for the next time you light the candle.
Never put out a candle with water.
Yes, a burning candle may never be left unattended. Candles burn with a naked flame so there must always be somebody nearby.
Our memorial lights are intended to be lit once so that they can then burn continuously. Because it is not possible to keep watching the candle all the time, the chance of fire and its consequences is reduced considerably when the candle is burned outside. Always make sure that you do not place the candle in the immediate surroundings of flammable materials.
It is very important that the holders are manufactured from non-flammable materials and that there is a sufficiently large distance (at least 10 cm) between the candles. For a tealight holder, it is important that the heat generated by the burning tea-warmer can escape. The holder should therefore not be closed.
Our accessories have been carefully designed to allow our candles to burn optimally and to comply with all safety regulations. Our accessories are available in different types, shapes and materials. You can view them here.
