Candle Wick Trimmer

We regularly see cheap candles in shops and always think how do you compete with those prices. Then we remember the effort and care that goes into everything we do at Blow Candles. We work closely with UK suppliers and hand pick (or smell) all elements from fragrance to wick. All our candles use only Soy or natural waxes. We stay away from using paraffin wax as it releases toxins into your home. Most importantly, we make every candle by hand at our home.

We recommend burning your candle for around 3 hours on your first burn. The melt pool needs to reach near the edge of the candle. Wax has a memory so if you blow it out too soon it will tunnel on future burns.

Keep your flame away from drafts. Always trim your wick to a 1/4 inch (under 1 cm) before every burn. A wick that is too long will burn at a higher rate and cause soot. Get hold of a wick trimmer tool if you love your candles!
