Candle Care

Candle & Home Fragrance Care Tips

Want your Bosden Candles and home fragrance products to last longer, burn brighter, and smell incredible every time? A little care goes a long way. Here’s how to get the most out of your favourites.

🕯 Candle Care 101

Trim the wick
Whether wooden or cotton, always trim your wick to around 5mm before each burn. This keeps the flame steady, reduces smoke, and prevents soot from forming on the glass.

Let it pool
The first burn is the most important! Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edge of the jar (usually 1–2 hours). This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn.

Burn time matters
For safety and longevity, don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

Keep it clean
Remove any debris, wick trimmings, or matches from the wax. A clean candle is a happy candle.

Stay safe
Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, flammable items, pets, and curious little hands.

Never leave unattended
Enjoy responsibly—never walk away from a burning candle.

🌿 Reed Diffuser Tips

Set up
Remove the cap, insert the reeds into the bottle, and place your diffuser on a stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat, or open windows.

Adjust the strength
Add more reeds for a stronger scent, or fewer for a subtle fragrance. Flip the reeds every 1–2 weeks to refresh the aroma.

Keep it safe
Diffuser liquid is for fragrance only—keep out of reach of children and pets, and wipe up any spills immediately.

✨ Room Spray Tips

Spritz & enjoy
Shake gently before use, then spritz 2–3 times into the air for an instant fragrance boost.

Where to use
Perfect for living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, and linen cupboards. You can also lightly mist fabrics like cushions or curtains—just do a quick patch test first.

Less is more
A couple of sprays is plenty to fill your space without overpowering it.

Use with care
Do not spray directly on skin, polished surfaces, or near an open flame.

Store safely
Keep out of direct sunlight and away from children and pets.
