Candle Care and Safety

Candle Care:

• Always trim wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting. The first time you light your candle, let it burn for 3-4 hours to allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the container to prevent your candle from tunneling. 

 

Candle Safety:

• Follow the 2 foot rule - don't place a burning candle near anything that is flammable.
• Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans and any air currents. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep or if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container. 
• A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/4 inch of wax remains in the container.
