CANDLE CARE & SAFETY
Always keep a burning candle within sight. Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. Be sure the wick ember is no longer glowing.
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. Remove any packaging
Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets.
Trim candlewicks to 1/4 inch every four hours or each time before burning. Untrimmed wicks will build up carbon , resulting in sooting .
Always use a candle-holder specifically designed for candle use. The holder should be heat resistant, sturdy and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax.
Be sure the candle-holder is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. This can help prevent heat damage to underlying surfaces and prevent glass containers from breaking. This is extremely important with glass jars!
Keep the wax pool free of wick trimming, matches and debris at all times.
Do not burn a candle longer than 4 hours at any one time.
Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans, and air currents. This will help prevent rapid, uneven burning and avoid flame flare-ups and soothing. Drafts can also blow nearby lightweight items into the flame where they could catch fire.
Always burn candles in a well ventilated room. Don't burn too many candles in a small room or in a "tight" home where air exchange is limited.
Don't burn a candle all the way down. Extinguish the flame if it comes too close to the holder or container.
For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/2 of wax remains in your container ,burning to the very last drop.of wax can result in your glass container shattering. If the wick becomes detached when burning put it out immediately and contact us.
Never touch or move a burning candle especially a tall container as jars can become hot to touch ,especially if burnt longer than the recommended 4 hr burn .
Never move your candle when the wax is liquid.
Never use a sharp knife or sharp object to remove wax drippings from a glass holder. It may scratch, weaken or cause glass to break upon subsequent use.
Use a snuffer to extinguish a candle. It's the safest way to prevent hot wax splatters.
Never extinguish a candle with water. The water can cause the hot was to splatter and might cause a glass container to break.
Extinguish a candle if repeatedly smokes, flickers or the flame becomes too high. The candle isn't burning properly. Cool, trim the wick, then check for drafts before relighting.
