Candle Care and Safety

How to use:

1. Always trim the wick short to 1/8-1/4 of an inch before each burn. You can use a candle wick trimmer made specifically for this purpose or you can use nail trimmers. A short wick will keep you candle happy and burning clean.
2. Aim for two hours for your first burn. This will fully melt the top of the wax and give your wick a beautiful and flat stage for its next dance.
3. To keep your candle in tip top shape, don't burn it for more than four hours at a time.
4. When extinguishing, don't give your candle's wick a birthday cake blow. Doing so will leave unsightly ash in your candle wax. Instead use a snuffer or a metal or glass lid to gently put out the flame.

Candle Safety:

• Always keep a burning candle within sight.
• Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire.
• Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets.
• Trim candle wicks to ¼ inch each time before burning.
• Be sure the candle is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.
• Don't burn our candles for more than 4 hours.
• Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans and air currents.
• Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room.
• Stop burning a candle when ½ inch of wax remains.
• Never touch or move a burning candle or container candle when the wax is liquid.
• Place burning candles at least three inches apart from one another.
