Candle & Wax Melt Care

At Teog Co, we believe fragrance should bring warmth, comfort and a little everyday luxury into your home. Our coconut-wax candles and wax melts are hand-poured in small batches. Please follow these simple precautions and always read the safety information supplied with your product.

Caring for your candles

• Trim wicks to approximately 5mm before each burn and remove any wick trimmings or debris from the wax.
• Place candles upright on a stable, heat-resistant surface, at least 10cm apart and away from draughts, curtains and anything flammable.
• Keep candles away from children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• For multi-wick candles, light all the wicks together. Never move a lit candle or touch hot glass or liquid wax.
• Follow the burn-time limit on your candle label; never burn for longer than four hours at a time.
• Extinguish if the flame becomes unusually large, flickers excessively or smokes heavily. Never extinguish with water.
• Check that all flames are out and let the glass cool fully before handling or relighting.
• Stop using the candle when approximately 1cm of wax remains, or sooner if instructed on the product label. Do not use cracked or damaged glass.
• Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

Caring for your wax melts

• Use only a suitable wax melt burner or electric warmer, following its manufacturer's instructions.
• Place the burner on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials, children and pets.
• Use a suitable quantity of wax without overfilling the dish. Never add water or extra fragrance oil.
• For tealight burners, use only the tealight size and type specified by the burner manufacturer; never use an oversized tealight. We always say 4-hour tealights max.
• Never leave a lit or switched-on burner unattended. Do not move it while the wax is hot.
• Follow the burner's recommended operating time and do not heat melts for longer than four hours at a time.
• Extinguish the tealight or switch off and unplug the warmer after use. Let the burner and wax cool fully before cleaning or changing the wax.
• Never pour wax down sinks or drains. Dispose of cooled wax responsibly.

Children, pets and fragrance

Keep candles, burners, wax melts and fragrance products out of reach of children and animals. Enjoy fragrance in a well-ventilated space, taking particular care around pets that may be sensitive to scents.

A little care for every beautiful burn

Whether you're enjoying the glow of a candle or the scent of a wax melt, careful use helps keep those moments safe and comforting.
