Aftercare Guide

At Solèy Decor, each piece is crafted with care and intention, and we want to help you enjoy our products for as long as possible. Please follow these guidelines to keep your Jesmonite decor and candles in their best condition.

 

Jesmonite Care

Our Jesmonite pieces are handcrafted with natural variations, making each one unique. Here’s how to care for them:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean your Jesmonite items with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they may damage the surface.
  • Water Exposure: While Jesmonite is a durable material, prolonged exposure to water can lead to surface changes. It’s best to keep Jesmonite pieces in dry areas, and if used as a plant holder, consider using a liner to prevent direct contact with water.
  • Heat and Sunlight: Jesmonite is heat-resistant but not entirely heatproof. Avoid placing hot items directly on your Jesmonite decor and keep items out of direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
  • Handling: Handle with care to prevent chipping or breaking. Small air bubbles and slight color variations are natural and add to the charm of Jesmonite items.

 

Wooden Wick Scented Candles (Coconut Apricot Wax)

Our wooden wick candles are crafted with a luxurious blend of coconut and apricot wax to offer a clean, even burn. Here’s how to get the most out of your candle:

  • First Burn: For an even wax pool and to avoid tunneling, allow your candle to burn for 2-3 hours on the first use, or until the melted wax reaches the edges of the container.
  • Wood Wick Care: Trim the wooden wick to about 1/8 inch before each burn. This prevents excessive flame size, smoking, and uneven burning.
  • Burning Duration: To preserve the quality of your candle, avoid burning it for more than 3-4 hours at a time.
  • Safety Tips: Always burn your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, flammable objects, children, and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Wax Residue: When approximately 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom, it’s time to stop burning to prevent overheating the container.

 

Decorative Candle Care

Our decorative candles are designed to be both beautiful and functional, but they are primarily intended for display. Here’s how to care for these pieces:

  • Burning Tips: If you choose to light your decorative candle, place it on a heat-resistant tray or surface to catch any melted wax. Allow the candle to burn only briefly, as decorative shapes may burn unevenly.
  • Placement: Keep decorative candles out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, as high temperatures can soften or distort their shape over time.
  • Dusting: Gently dust your decorative candles with a soft, dry cloth to keep them looking their best. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as these may damage the wax.
  • Storage: When not in use, store your decorative candles in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and color.
