How to get value for your money when you purchase a candle:
Prior to your first and before every burn, trim your candle wick to at least ¼ inch. This prevents uneven burning, dripping or flaring.
Keep your melted wax pool free of wick trimmings and any foreign item at all times.
Only burn your candle on a stable, fire-resistant surface.
Avoid placing your candles close to a vent to prevent uneven burn.
Burn your candles between 3 – 4 hours at a time to help the candle burn evenly. Do not burn candles more than 4 hours.
Your candle is ready for a replacement when there is 1/2″ of wax left in the candle jar.
Candle Safety:
For many years, people have been using candles as objects of self-care; to add an aesthetic value and scent, especially to set a soft, warm, or romantic ambiance in the home. Candles are also known to cause serious fire hazard if not used properly. Below are some guidelines in order to avoid the risk of fire due to human errors:
Do not leave candles burning with no one in the room.
Do not leave a burning candle unattended around children or pets.
Teach your children to be careful around open flames. Make sure they understand that candles are not toys, or something they can eat or drink.
Never let your candle put you to sleep. Extinguish all candles before you go to sleep.
Candle containers or jars can be extremely hot after the candle has been burning for a while. Be sure not to touch or move it until it is completely cool or it’s safe to do so.
Never place your candle jar close to flammable objects. Place your candle on a stable fire-resistant surface away from other objects.
Trim candle wicks to a height of 1/4″ before lighting the candle. Trim them again every 2-3 hours to prevent high flames. Of course, let your jar sit for a period of time to cool down before trimming the wick.
Do not burn candles that have lead in the wicks. Check with your retailer to be sure they carry lead free wicks. Lead presents health hazards, especially for children.
When you extinguish your candle, take a moment to ensure it is completely out before leaving the room.
Follow every instruction printed on candle labels.
Be Safe!
