Candle Care /Safety Tips
- Light your candle in a well-ventilated room, away from drafts, which can cause sooting (black marks on the vessel), or uneven burning.
- Never leave a lit candle unattended or out of sight!
- Trim your candle wick to 5mm length before lighting, for an optimum burn. Long, or crooked wicks can create high flames, smoking, or sooting.
- Allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the container, especially on your first burn. To avoid tunneling, let your candle burn for 2-3 hours minimum.
- Limit candle burn time to a maximum of 4 hours.
- Keep the candles out of the reach of children and pets. 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.
- Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. If you see a flaming wick come close to the vessel wall, extinguish the flame and straighten the wick to prevent the vessel from cracking.
- After extinguishing the flame, we suggest to use a snuffer, centre and straighten the wick, burning for too long can cause the wick to move, or slant.
- Before re-lighting, let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check for unwanted drafts.
- Don’t burn a candle all the way down! For safety measures, stop burning a candle when there is 5 cm of wax left in the vessel.
- Do not blow out your candle, use instead a candle snuffer to extinguish the candles, it's the safest way.
- Store your candle in a cool dry place, out of any sunligh.
