Candle Care & Safety

Safety Tips:

  1. To prevent fire, never burn candles unattended.
  2. Keep lit candles away from children and pets.
  3. Keep candles on an even, non-flammable surface and never burn near flammable objects.
  4. Do not allow flames to touch the sides of the jar.
  5. Spilled wax will cause stains.
  6. Keep burning candles away from drafts.
  7. Discontinue use when 1/4 inch of wax remains.
  8. Burn to liquefy an even layer of wax; not to exceed 5 hours.
  9. Glass jars will be hot.

Candle Care:

  1. For best results, it is recommended that you do not blow out flames. Extinguish wicks with a wick dipper.
  2. Before re-lighting your candles, trim the wicks to approximately 1/4 inch in length.
  3. Remove trimmings from candle before re-lighting.
  4. Recommended amount of time to burn candles to ensure the longest life and cleanest burn: 4 to 5 hours.
