Candle Care & Safety

Candle Safety Tips

1. Always Trim the Wick:
- Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use. This helps prevent soot and ensures a clean, even burn.

2. Burn Candles in a Well-Ventilated Room:
- Make sure the area is well-ventilated but free from drafts. Drafts can cause uneven burning and excessive smoking.

3. Keep Candles Away from Flammable Objects:
- Ensure candles are placed away from anything that can catch fire, such as curtains, furniture, or bedding.

4. Never Leave a Candle Unattended:
- Always extinguish candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. Never leave a burning candle within reach of children or pets.

5. Burn Candles for Limited Periods:
- Avoid burning candles for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow them to cool for at least 2 hours before relighting.

6. Keep the Wax Pool Clear:
- Ensure the wax pool is free of wick trimmings, matches, and debris. This helps prevent flaring and ensures an even burn.

7. Extinguish Candles Properly:
- Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the candle. Do not use water to extinguish a candle, as it can cause hot wax to splatter.

8. Follow Manufacturer's Instructions:
- Always follow the specific burning instructions provided by the candle manufacturer.

9. Store Candles Properly:
- Store candles in a cool, dark, dry place to prevent color fading, scent loss, and cracking.
