Candle & Diffuser Care Tips

Want your scented soy candles to burn brighter, last longer, and smell incredible every time? A little care goes a long way. Here's how to get the most out of your Ivy & Wood products.

🕯 Candle Care 101

Trim the wick
Before each burn, trim your wick to around 5mm. This helps create a cleaner flame, reduces smoke, and prevents soot from forming on the glass.

Let it pool
The first burn matters! Let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the jar (usually 1–2 hours). This helps avoid tunnelling and ensures an even, long-lasting burn.

Take a break
Don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time—this helps preserve the fragrance and keeps things safe.

Keep it clean
Remove any debris like 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 flammable materials, breezes, pets, and curious little hands.

Never leave unattended
Burn responsibly—always keep an eye on your candle while it’s lit.

🌿 Reed Diffuser Tips

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

Customise the scent strength
Use more reeds for a stronger fragrance throw, or fewer for a more subtle scent. Flip the reeds once a week to refresh the aroma.

Keepit safe
As with all home fragrance products, keep your diffuser out of reach of children and pets.

✨ Room Spray Tips

Spritz & enjoy
Give your room spray a gentle shake, then spritz 2–3 times into the air for an instant fragrance lift.

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

Avoid over-spraying
A little goes a long way. One or two spritzes are often enough to fill your space without overpowering it.

Do not spray directly on skin or surfaces
Room sprays are designed for air and fabric use only. Avoid spraying directly onto skin, polished surfaces, or near open flames.

Store safely
Keep your room spray out of direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
