CANDLE CARE TIPS

BEFORE BURNING.

Prior to burning your candle, trim the wick at least 1/4 inch. This will provide a cleaner burn. You can use a wick trimmer or scissors. This prevents uneven burning, dripping or flaring.
Discard wick trimmings and keep wax free of any debris at all times.
Place the candle on a stable and heat-resistant surface.
Burn candle in a well-ventilated room. Avoid drafts, vents or air currents.
It is recommended that candles do not burn for longer than four hours and cool for at least two hours before relighting.

Never leave a burning candle unattended or lit while sleeping.
Never touch or move a burning candle, especially when the wax is liquified.
Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.
Do not burn a candle all the way down. For safety measures, stop burning a candle when there is 1/4 inch of wax left in the vessel.
Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep away from drapes, bedding, furniture, carpet, etc.
If you are burning multiple candles, place burning candles at least three inches apart from one another.
Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Let the candle cool and trim the wick before re-lighting.
Be very careful if using candles during a power outage. Flashlights and other battery powered lights are safer sources of light during a power outage.
It is recommended to let the pool of melted wax reach the edge of your candle before you snuff the flame, especially during your first burn.

Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle, if available, as it’s the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.
Do not use water to extinguish a candle, this can cause the hot wax to splatter and could break a glass container.
Before leaving the room, make sure your candle is completely out and there is no glow coming from the wick ember.
Do not touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled.
