-
One important rule is to trim candlewicks to 1/4 inch each time before burning. This will give you a much cleaner burn - to ensure the burnt wick won’t fall into the melted wax!
-
Your candle scent will get stronger as it melts the wax and creates its first wax pool. Be patient! Usually, the scent will reach its max about 45 mins into burning for the first time.
-
Always keep a burning candle within sight. Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. Please NEVER leave a burning candle unattended!
-
Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch on fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable items, and decorations.
-
Extinguish the flame if it comes too close to the holder or container. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when a 3/8″ wax remains in the container. This will also help prevent possible heat damage to the counter/surface and prevent glass/wooden containers from cracking or breaking.
-
Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, and air currents. This will help prevent rapid, uneven burning, and smoking. Drafts can also blow lightweight curtains or papers into the flame where they could catch fire. NEVER burn a candle under a ceiling fan or near an A/C vent!
-
Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, and debris at all times. If left in the wax pool, they could catch fire when you next light your candle.
-
Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room. Today’s newer homes are built very airtight nowadays and the air exchange rate is very low.
-
NEVER touch or move a container candle when the wax is liquid or molten. The outside of the container will still be hot to the touch - and can cause stains, burns, or damage.
-
Always keep the lid on your candle when not in use.
-
Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do NOT place lighted candles where they can be knocked over by children or pets.
