Time Saving and Housekeeping Tips
As a candle maker, it's important to make use of time as much as possible. From storage tips to perfect preparation tactics, knowing house to keep a tidy workstation and save yourself time will help you craft candles quickly without compromising on quality!
Time Saving Tips
First and foremost, having a dedicated work space will help you save lots of time. Having an area to store, make and pack your orders will help you stay organised and keep your production time efficient.
Storage
Simple storage solutions will help you save time. Knowing exactly where everything is and ensuring your tools and ingredients are easy to find will help save you time looking for stock when making your candles.
Pre-clean
Cleaning your jars ahead of production will mean that you have one less thing to do.
Pre-wicking
A small but simple time saving solution is to pre wick your candles. That way they’re ready to pour straight away!
Sticker up
Pre stickering your jars is a great way to save time when carrying out customer orders. Simply peel and stick your CLP and safety labels on your jars as soon as they arrive!
Housekeeping Rules
When it comes to candle making, there are a few housekeeping rules that you should probably stick to.
Cleaning waxy jugs and utensils
The best way to clean your waxy apparatus is to use boiling soapy water.
Covering your surfaces
Making candles can get messy so sometimes it's best to lay down a tablecloth, tin foil or paper to easily clean up after yourself.
Don't pour wax down the sink!
Once hardened wax will block your pipes and cause blockages which could be an expensive payout.
