Candle Care
Before Burning
- Prior to burning your candle, trim the wick at least ¼ inch to prevent uneven burning, dripping or flaring.
- Keep the pool of wax free of wick trimmings and any debris at all times.
- Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to prevent heat damage, cracking or breaking.
- Avoid drafts, vents or air currents to prevent rapid or uneven burning, sooting, and excessive dripping.
- Burn for 2-3 hours each time you light the candle for an even burn, and remember to trim your wick before each burn.
While Burning
- Never leave a burning candle unattended or lit while sleeping, be sure to extinguish should you leave the area.
- Never touch or move a burning candle, or move it while the wax is liquified.
- For safety measures, stop burning a candle when there is ¼ inch of wax left in the vessel.
- If burning multiple candles, place each candle at least three inches apart from one another.
- Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly.
- Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, 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.
When Extinguishing
- 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.
