Kind Melts guide to candle anatomy and basic terms. I'm going to share some knowledge on all of the things you didn't know about candle care. So you've bought a candle, its lit and thats all you need to know .. or is it? Kind Melts candle basics. The container. Candle containers are specifically made to withstand the heat of a naked flame for a period of time. Although some containers may look amazing or quirky if its not made specifically for a candle its not guaranteed to be safe. Now Kind Melts is all for recycling but safety comes before anything. Those lovely vintage tea cup candles, lets keep them for our tea. They may come with the hair line cracks we're unable to see and are not made to withstand the temperature of naked flame. Recycled bottles and jars, were they made for candles? No, lets leave them for some twinkly fairy lights. The wax and wick. Kind Melts use a sustainable wax in all of our products as well as FSC certified wood for the wicks. The wax, wick and fragrance in a candle are the fuel the wick draws up the melted wax which is then vaporised by the flame and in turn the fragrance is released. Is there a reason we use wooden wicks rather than cotton? Yes we love the ambience the crackle gives, but more than that a wooden wick is wider than a regular cotton wick so creates a full melt pool sooner, in doing so releases fragrance quickly. The flame. Did you know the flame burns at a temperature of 1,400°C, Yes that little flame gets that hot! If you compare this to a boiled kettle which is around 100°C you can see why recycled containers are not recommended. Candle care tips. Storing your candle. Your beautiful candle is a little temperamental. To keep it at its best store in a cool, dark place and cover with the lid after use to avoid dust or other particles settling in the container. Always ensure the candle is free from dust and debris before lighting. Candle care for use of your candle can be found here https://www.kindmelts.co.uk/candle-care Basic candle terms. Melt pool - The melt pool is the description used for the melted wax in the container. A full melt pool is when the melted wax reaches the side of the container. Throw. The throw is the term used when describing the strength of the scent Cold throw is the term for the scent of the candle when not burning, Hot throw is when the candle is burning. Frosting. White frost looking areas on the wax. When using a vegetable wax, frosting can appear due to temperature changes as the wax returns to its natural state. This is cosmetic only and doesn't effect the performance or scent throw of the candle. Tunnelling. When a candles first use doesn't allow for a full melt pool the candle will follow the first burn memory and tunnel down the middle of the candle. Hang up. A small amount of wax that is left on the side of the container. If you have followed Kind Melts care tips if any hang up occurs this will melt when further down the container. Thanks for reading! I hope this has given you a little more understanding of your Kind Melts candles.

If you’re looking to go green with your home but aren’t sure where to start, look no further! Here are 5 tips that you can use to make your home more eco friendly. Buy quality, Buy less Quality items are generally more expensive, but they're worth it in the long run because you won't have to replace them as often. As the saying goes, buy cheap, pay twice. Saying that, luxury items don't always have to be expensive. there are many smaller brands that compete with, or outmatch, well-known luxury brands. Scented candles as an example, many customers have said they have purchased supermarket candles in the past which smell great until they're lit and then they soon lose scent. These candles are generally made with lower quality ingredients and less fragrance added than a more expensive candle. Higher quality ingredients will give your candle a long lasting and clean burn. Unlike a smaller brand who make in small batches these candles are mass produced so not every candle gets quality control checked. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle You know that recycling is important, but that’s only part of it. Reducing, reusing, and recycling should be a way of life. Reduce by buying products in bulk whenever possible; reuse old glass jars to store pasta, dried foods; Tins with lids can be great to store items in the shed or craft supplies. Give away or sell items you don't need or want anymore, advertise them on social media platforms or in your local area. It may be of great help to someone else and reduces the waste going to landfill. Reusable Products for Beauty and Grooming Another way you can be more eco-friendly is to incorporate reusable items into your beauty routine. There are many ways you can do so, why not try switching out disposable razors for a reusable one, buy bamboo toothbrushes rather than plastic, switch to toothpaste tablets, invest in refillable shampoo/body wash bottles and buy refills or ditch the face wipes for a reusable cloth or eco sponge. Just one small change in your beauty habits can make a difference. Ditch the plastic Single-use plastics—such as plastic water bottles and plastic utensils, have become a huge environmental hazard. It can take up to 450 years for a single plastic water bottle to decompose in landfill! So swap out those single use plastics for a reusable bottle and travel cup. ( as above with buying quality, buying less ) Buy a reusable bag for shopping to avoid having to purchase lots of plastic bags. Buy products with a more eco friendly packaging, or better still no packaging. Instead of buying plastic products and single use items, swap to eco alternatives like wax food wraps as an alternative to cling film and glass storage containers, glass is infinitely recyclable! Eco cleaning Use items you already have at home and save money. Carpet fresheners are popular with many people, but why spend money on a fragranced bicarbonate of soda mix? (This is what smaller brands use) Many people already have this is the cupboard at home so save some money and use your own bicarbonate of soda instead of carpet freshener. Bicarbonate of soda helps neutralise odours and is a safer alternative when you have pets or small children. Simply sprinkle it onto your carpet before vacuuming. This can also be used to eliminate odours from shoes, fridges and bins! Another use is to mix equal parts bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar or lemon with a little water, to make a cleanser for greasy dishes and stubborn stains. Making your home and life more eco friendly doesn't have to be expensive or difficult, you don’t have to make drastic changes, every little change you make can make a difference. Here are some additional tips for a more eco friendly home. Composting food scraps - Reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill. Upcycling furniture - Get creative with old furniture instead of buying new to match your decor give your existing furniture a spruce up with some paint or fabrics.
