Candle molds should be cleaned of wax residues after use and if there are any defects on the candle surface. In the case of new or already used molds, the release and silicone oils used in production can also leave an oily film on the mold, which should be removed.

To clean the mold, it should first be rinsed with warm water and a little washing-up liquid. The outside can be cleaned with a damp cloth, the inside of the silicone can be cleaned with a soft toothbrush. After rinsing with water, the mold can be dried either with a lint-free cloth or in the air.

Before using the core mold, it must be completely dry inside. Drops of water will lead to imperfections on the cast candle.

Candle molds should always be stored in such a way that they cannot become deformed. We recommend storing the molds on a flat surface and not stacking them on top of each other. Flat casting molds should be stored lying down as a whole, while round molds should be stored upright. An exception to this are the long table candle molds, which can be carefully stored lying down. To prevent the mold from becoming dusty, it can be wrapped in cling film. To completely prevent deformation, the last candle wax poured can remain in the mold during the storage period.

The mold should be stored in a cool and dry place.
