Every candle is a unique sculpture and made by hand, thus any idiosyncrasies are inherent and part of the overall story of each candle.
The candles may stain some surfaces. Crying Clover advises to not store them on wood, and instead store them on a heat resistant & stable surface such as ceramic or designated candle holder.
These candles are sculptures and are made from a combination of varying types of reclaimed wax. We think of the burning as a performance. If you choose to burn them please be advised that we can not guarantee a lengthy burn time.
If you choose to burn them - Only do so on a non-flammable surface and trim wick down to 1/4". Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep a lit candle away from anything flammable. You can lightly melt the bottom of the candle to affix it to your non-flammable surface (ceramic, marble, stone, etc).
Unscented
Crying Clover candles have a natural scent of beeswax and remnant scents of salvaged candles past - they do not add any scent.
Care
Do not leave candle in direct sunlight or in a room that gets hot.
Due to the reclaimed wax we use, and the inherent mixture of waxes, candles may stain some surfaces. Out of an abundance of caution, we recommend not storing them directly on wood, and instead storing them on a designated heat resistant, stable and non-porous surface.
Safety
Caution: Failure to follow instructions could result in fire hazard, injury, or smoke damage.
Remove all packaging before burning. Keep wax free of matches, wick trimmings, other flammable materials & debris.
Make sure candle is secured and level in a proper holder.
Keep wick centered & trim wick to 1/4 inch each time candle is burned.
Burn candle in a proper holder & only on stable heat resistant surfaces.
Do not burn candles for more than 1 hour at a time.
Keep out of draft and flame unobstructed at all times.
Discontinue use when only 1/2 inch of wax remains.
Do not move candles while burning or if wax is hot.
Keep out of reach of children & pets.
Never leave burning candle unattended.
