Candle Care

At Utopia Home Fragrance, we want you to enjoy your candles to the fullest while ensuring your safety. Following these steps will ensure you get the best out of your candle.

 

Placement

Place your Utopia Home Fragrance candle on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface. This ensures that your candle remains secure and prevents any accidental spills or damage. Keep in mind to position your candle away from drafts and any flammable objects to ensure a safe and even burn. Drafts may make the flame burn hotter on one side of the vessel and can lead to a 'hang up' of wax, on the other. 

Wick Trimming

Between burns, after the wax has cooled, trim the wick to approximately 5mm in length. This helps promote an even burn and prevents the flame from becoming too large or flickering excessively. If you're consistent with your wick trimming, I promise you, you'll get the most burn time possible! This isn't just a tip for a Utopia Home Fragrance candle, but any candle you may own! Wick size does matter!

Safe Burning

While enjoying your candle, it's important to keep it out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and always ensure you extinguish it before leaving the room or going to sleep. Safety is the priority here, and we want you to have peace of mind while indulging in our fragrances.

Longevity and Scent Throw

Our candles are handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail. All of our candle recipes have been thoroughly tested to ensure the candle you receive provides a long-lasting burn with a strong scent throw. Utopia Home Fragrance was born of this obsession, and we are proud that any candle we add to our collection provides just that. To maximise the performance of your candle, we recommend allowing it to burn for approximately 4 hours during each use. This will allow the wax to melt evenly and release the fragrance throughout your space.

Disposal

When your candle has about 5mm of wax remaining and/or the metal wick sustainer is visible, it's time to retire it. Do not relight the candle at this point, as it has reached its end. (Cue violins). Safely dispose of the vessel according to your local regulations or give it a new lease of life - the empty vessel can be reused as you wish. We very much hope you enjoyed your candle. If you find that it has left an empty space on your coffee table and perhaps your heart, and you're now missing the presence of Utopia Home Fragrance in your home, fear not - you're just another order away from Utopia...
