CANDLE SAFETY & BURNING TIPS

CANDLE-BURNING TIPS

You may or may not know that you need to Trim Your Wick before each burn. The reasons are very simple on why you should Trim Your Wick and I have listed out some important reasons below.

SAFE FLAME HEIGHT, NO BLACK SOOT

Keeping the candle wick trimmed helps control your flame height. Too big of a flame will cause the candle to burn to hot which isn’t safe for you, your space or your candle. It will also cause and create black soot, not cute.

Trim your wick before each burn to 1/4” before each burn.

CREATES A CLEAN AND EVEN BURN = PROLONGED CANDLE LIFE

Trimming your Wick also helps create an even and clean burn. No sink holes, no tunneling and no leftover wax on the sides of your candle vessel. That means a longer lasting candle, where you can burn almost all the way down to the last drop of wax.

GO AHEAD, TRIM YOUR WICK....LIKE, RIGHT NOW!

• Make sure your wick is always trimmed to 1/4” before lighting. If the wick is too long, the wax will not pull up the wick and the wick will extinguish.
• Be very careful not to let any debris from the wick into the candle
• Extinguish candle when ½” of wax is remaining
• Do not burn candle more than 4 hours at one time
• Follow all Candle Safety Guidelines

CANDLE SAFETY
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep.
• Trim wick to 1/4" before lighting.
• Follow the 2 foot rule - don't place a burning candle near clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable.
• Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans and any air currents.
• Place candle holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface that is sturdy and large enough to catch any melted wax.
• Extinguish a candle if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container.
• Place burning candles at least 3 inches apart from one another.
• A burning candle should not be used as a nightlight.
• A candle should not be burned for more than 4 hours at a time.
• Don’t burn a candle all the way down. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains in the container.
