Tips, Tricks & Safety

To prevent fire and serious injury:

Always trim the wick to ¼ inch and remove any debris left in the wax pool, such as wick trimmings.

Never burn your candle for more than 3 to 4 hours at a time. Burning a candle for too long will cause carbon to collect on the wick, leading it to "mushroom." The wick will then become unstable and produce a dangerously large flame. Plus, your candle will start to smoke and release soot.

Keep the flame away from moving air/drafts. Moving air/drafts can disturb the flame, resulting in those pesky black marks on the glass.

Always burn the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Stable, heat-resistant surfaces can help prevent heat damage to underlying surfaces and prevent glass containers from breaking.

 

Always burn within sight and extinguish before leaving the room.

Keep away from children and pets.
