Candle Safety

Caution: Failure to follow instructions could result in fire hazard, injury, or smoke damage.

Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use.

Wicks that are too short will burn too slowly. Wicks that are too long will have a larger unsafe flame, create smoke, and will burn too quickly.  If your wick has a mushroom effect on the tip, it is time to trim the wick after it is safely blown out and cooled. 

Always burn candles within line of sight.

Keep burning candles or cooling candles out of reach of children and pets.

Burn candles no longer than 4 hours. 

Keep burning candles away from flammable objects and out of drafty areas.

Do not burn your candle wax all the way down.

Stop burning your candle when there is ¼ - ½ inch of wax left for safety.

Extinguish the candle flame if it is flickering, smoking, or becomes too big. 

If the flame is flickering or “dancing,” smoking, or is too big, immediately extinguish the flame. Your candle wick is too long and needs to be trimmed in ¼ inch after the candle is completely cooled and is safe to trim.  

Keep wax free of debris at all times.

Never move or touch a burning or cooling candle.

Extinguish the candle with a snuffer, never water.

Burn candles in a well-ventilated area.

Keep candles 3 inches apart.

Do not ingest.
