CANDLE SAFETY and CARE TIPS
  • Never leave a candle unattended
  • Keep candle out of reach of children and pets
  • Always extinguish candle when wax is 1/2” deep from the bottom of the jar. This will eliminate any hazard of the jar breaking due to heat
  • Don’t burn candle longer than 4 hours. Four (4) hours is the maximum to burn candle for a long life and safety.
  • Always extinguish candle, then trim wick, and relight it.
  • Keep wick trimmed to 1/8" to 1/4”, AT ALL TIMES, to prevent black soot and smoking. If the wick is getting long after burning, extinguish it, trim it and relight it! A good rule of thumb...if you see black smoke coming from the flame - it is time to trim your wick.
  • Don’t blow candle out. This will put black soot on the side of the jar or cause a spray of hot wax. Instead, take a pen, or spoon and lay wick in the wet wax to extinguish. Then pull wick back up to the upright centered position. This serves two purposes:
    1. It will re-wax the wick
    2. It will be easier to relight
  • Keep wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, or other foreign materials that may present a fire hazard.
  • Never allow the flame to come in contact with the side of the container. Move wick back to the center with a metal spoon handle while the wax is still hot.
  • Always burn candle on a stable, protected heat-resistant surface. It is good to use a candle safe plate.
  • Never burn a candle if the container is cracked, chipped, or broken.
  • Carefully handle candle after use as wax is liquid and jar will still be hot.
  • Place candles in a draft free area. If the flame is moving the candle is in a draft.
