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.
