Candle Safety & Care

Essential Tips for Safe Candle Use


Remove All Labels and Packaging

Before lighting your candle, ensure all labels and packaging have been removed. This prevents potential fire hazards.

Burn on a Stable, Heat-Resistant Surface

Always place your candle on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface to avoid accidents.

Keep Away from Drafts and Flammable Items

Ensure your lit candle is away from drafts, curtains, and furnishings. This minimizes the risk of fire spreading.

Never Leave a Burning Candle Unattended

Safety first! Always keep an eye on your burning candle.

Keep Out of Reach of Children and Pets

Lit candles can be dangerous. Ensure they are placed out of reach of children and pets.

Trim Wick to 6mm Before Lighting

For an even burn, trim the wick to 6mm before each use.

Limit Burn Time to 4 Hours

To ensure safety and maximize candle life, do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.


Additional Candle Care Tips

  • Cool Down: Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting or handling.
  • Proper Storage: Store candles in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality.
  • Clean Burn: Keep the wax pool free of debris like wick trimmings or matches.
  • Extinguish Safely: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame, ensuring no wax splatters.

By following these simple yet crucial steps, you can enjoy the warm ambiance of your candles safely and responsibly. Stay safe and let your space shine brightly!
