Question 1

How long do Claudi's candles burn?

Accepted Answer

Burn times depend on the vessel and the size: Coastal Tumblers 25–40 hours, Atelier Bamboo Jars 25–40 hours, and Heritage Pillars 27–180 hours. Actual burn time varies with wick trimming, draft conditions and burn session length — a wooden wick trades roughly 15% of it.

Question 2

How do I get the best performance from my candle?

Accepted Answer

On the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the vessel — typically 2–3 hours. This prevents tunnelling. Trim the wick to 5mm before each subsequent burn for a clean, even flame and maximum scent throw.

Question 3

How should I care for the wick?

Accepted Answer

Trim the wick to approximately 5mm (about the width of your thumbnail) before every burn. A long wick causes a large, smoky flame and uneven wax consumption. Claudi's recommends a wick trimmer for a clean, precise cut.

Question 4

Are Claudi's candles safe for indoor use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Always burn Claudi's candles in a well-ventilated space, away from draughts, flammable materials, and out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish completely before leaving the room or going to sleep.

Question 5

What ingredients are in Claudi's candles?

Accepted Answer

Claudi's uses three proprietary plant-based wax blends (Coastal, Atelier, Heritage) with high-quality fragrance oils. All formulations are designed for clean indoor burning. Specific ingredient ratios are trade formulations; allergen information is available on request.

Question 6

Can I reuse the jar after the candle is finished?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once the candle is fully burned, pour out any remaining wax, then clean the jar with hot soapy water. Tumblers, bamboo jars, flip-top jars, and dip jars all make beautiful storage, propagation, or display vessels. Heritage Pillar wax can be carefully removed and the vessel wiped clean.
