Product Care Instructions

Daily Care:

Clean after each use: Wipe off food debris and wash with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap.
Avoid soaking: Never submerge in water or put in the dishwasher—this causes warping or cracking.
Dry thoroughly: Pat dry with a towel and stand it upright to air dry completely.

Deep Cleaning & Maintenance:

Sanitise occasionally: Use a solution of 1 tbsp white vinegar to 1 cup water or wipe with diluted hydrogen peroxide.

Deodorize: Rub with coarse salt and half a lemon, let sit 5 minutes, and rinse.

Oil monthly: Use food-grade mineral oil (or beeswax-based cream) to prevent drying and cracking. Apply a generous coat, let sit overnight, then wipe off excess.

Remove Wax Residue:

Freeze Method: Place the holder in the freezer for a few hours. Hardened wax will shrink and pop out easily.
Warm Water Method: Soak in warm (not boiling) water to soften wax, then scrape gently with a plastic utensil.
Hair Dryer: Use gentle heat to melt wax and wipe it away with paper towels.

Avoid Open Flame Contact:

Always trim wicks to ¼ inch to reduce excessive flame or soot.
Use candles in proper size and type for the holder to avoid overheating or breakage.

Never Leave Burning Candles Unattended.

Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use.
Mild soap only if needed, and rinse quickly—avoid soaking or scrubbing aggressively.
Dry immediately with a towel to prevent water damage or warping.

Dishwashers – the heat, water, and detergent will strip the finish and damage the wood.
Soaking in water or letting sit wet.
Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which remove the protective oil/wax layer.

To keep the wood nourished and protected:

Frequency: Every 3–6 weeks, or when the wood looks dry or dull.
How to apply:
1. Clean and let dry completely.
2. Rub a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil and/or beeswax finish into the wood using a lint-free cloth.
3. Let sit for a few hours or overnight.
4. Buff off any excess with a clean, dry cloth.

You can buy a premade beeswax and oil conditioner or make your own by melting beeswax into mineral or coconut oil.
