Your enjoyment and safety are our top priorities. Please follow these guidelines to ensure a safe and delightful experience with our handcrafted candles:
-
Before Lighting: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping, or flaring.
-
Location: Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, pets, and children.
-
Keep an Eye Out: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep.
-
The Golden Rule: Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches, and debris at all times.
-
Avoid the Breeze: Do not burn candles where they can be affected by drafts, vents, or air currents. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, sooting, and excessive dripping.
-
Short and Sweet: Limit candle burning to 3-4 hours at a time. This will ensure the longevity of your candle and enhance its presence in your space.
-
Distance Matters: Always leave at least 4 inches between burning candles.
-
The Final Inch: Discontinue use of a candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains in the container. Continuing beyond this point is a fire hazard.
-
Feeling the Heat: Do not touch or move a candle while it is burning or while the wax is liquefied.
-
Stay Cool: Keep candles out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Warping and discoloration can occur.
-
Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle. It's the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.
-
First Aid: If you are burned by hot wax, immediately place the affected area under cool water and seek medical attention if necessary.
