To ensure a longer lifespan, ensure that after blowing out your candle, the wick is centred in the wax while it is still a liquid; Trim the wick to 6mm, using wick trimmers once the wax has solidified; Caution: remove all packaging before lighting the candle. Avoid any unprotected surface that may be damaged by heat or dripping wax. Be sure to burn in a draft free area, away from flammable materials and overhanging surfaces. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
