CANDLE CARE TIPS and SAFETY INFORMATION
Candles are a beautiful way to make your home smell wonderful and add ambiance. With the right care, candles will last longer and perform better. It's also very important to take safety precautions with candles. Even if it's a well performing candle, it's still a flame, and fire should be respected and contained.
- Your first burn sets the stage for future burns. Make sure to set aside enough time for a full burn the first time.
- You want to burn to a full melt pool each time to avoid tunnelling and get the most out of your candle. If the vessel is more tall than wide, it might not hit a full pool until the 4th burn or close to halfway through the candle.
- Burn for at least 2 hours but not more than 4 hours.
- Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Always burn your candle on a stable, heat resistant surface away from flammable materials, children, pets, drafts, vents, and ceiling fans.
- Never leave a candle burning unattended or near anything flammable.
- Never go to sleep with a candle burning.
- Never extinguish a candle with water.
- Never move or touch a burning candle.
- Once there is less than 1/2 inch of wax remaining, discontinue use. If you want to reuse your container, this is a good time to scoop out the wax and wipe the vessel clean.
- Overburning candles can compromise the candle’s safety.
