Candle Care & Safety

Before Burning

• Place candle on a stable, protected, heat-resistant, dry surface. It will help prevent possible heat damage to counters and table surfaces, and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking.
• Trim the wick before each use. Burn 3-4 hours each time you light your candle. This prevents uneven burning, dripping, or flaring.
• Keep the wax pool free of wick trimming.
• Keep the wick centered.
• Handle glass jars with care and do not use if jar is cracked.

While Burning

• Never leave a burning candle unattended or lit while sleeping.
  
• Never touch or move a burning candle. Never move a candle container when the wax is liquified.
• Don’t burn a candle all the way down. For safety measures, stop burning a candle when there is ¼ inch of wax left in the vessel. Or your candle will go out on its own and that's fine.
• Burn your candle in a large space to limit the concentration of the scented material in the air. Ventilate sufficiently.
• Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Before re-lighting, let the candle cool, trim the wick.
• Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable items, etc.
• Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do not place lit candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.
