Safety and Candle Care

Lighting Your Candle

Be sure to place your candle on a heat safe surface, as especially toward the end of burning a candle, the pot can get hot. Never leave your burning candle unattended. Keep out of reach of children and pets. And do not burn candles too close to each other - we recommend 10cm between them.

GHFS Pillar Refills

Unwrap your Pillar Refill and pop in your GHFS candle pot. Give it a little push down to make sure it's in place and secure. Your Pillar Refill is designed to be burned in a Great House Farm Stores candle pot. We have not tested our Pillar Refills in other pots and we have not tested other candles in our pots - so cannot guarantee that they will burn safely.

Ingredients

Always read your candle label before use. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. If you have any queries about the ingredients we use to make our candles, please email us at hello@greathousefarmstores.co.uk

Keeping Your Wick Trimmed

Trim your wick to 0.5 cm before you light it, every time. Keeping your wick neatly trimmed will help make sure you get the full burn time from your Great House Farm Stores' candle.

Burning Your Candle Evenly

As with all scented candles, try not to burn your candle / Pillar Refill for longer than two hours at a time and make sure it's completely solid before lighting again.
The first time you light your candle make sure you burn it until the whole surface area has melted, this will stop something called tunnelling which no candle lover wants. Try and keep this practice up every time you burn your candle, it'll help it last as long as possible.

GHFS Pillar Refills

The first time you light your candle make sure you burn it until most of the surface area has melted. Try and keep this practice up every time you burn your candle, it'll help it last as long as possible. Over the first couple of burns, your Pillar Refill will melt to fill your pot, evening itself out.

Take A Moment

Take a moment to root into this moment, right now. All of the good, all of the bad, lay it down and breathe deep.
