Frequently asked questions

  • What is the lifespan of an Africandle?
  • Depending on the size of the candle the burntime (if left to burn non-stop) is around  48-hours. This is for our smallest candle. 

  • Can I top-up my Africandle once the wax is finished?
  • Regrettably no; however, we suggest repurposing the cement base once it is finished. Some of our clients like to use the base as a plant holder, others like to crush the base and return it to the earth. 

  • How do I ensure the best burn experience for my candle?
  • It all starts with the first (and most important) burn. Make sure that your first burn lasts at least two to three hours. This creates a good start point for subsequent burns and ensures the longevity of your candle.  

  • What areas can an Africandle be shipped to?
  • Currently, you can get hold of an Africandle in Canada and it can be shipped to our neighbors in North America. Should you be further abroad please contact us at info@africandle.com so that we can discuss your options.
