Candle Safety

Candle lovers enjoy burning candles because of the warm, inviting and fragrant atmosphere it creates. To safely enjoy the experience it is important to practice safe candle burning habits. To help, we have listed below a few key best practices that are easy to adopt.  Remember, burn candles safely!

  • Place candles on a stable flat surface
  • Melt the top layer of wax completely on the initial burn
  • Do not leave burning candles unattended
  • Never burn candles longer than 4 hours
  • Keep candles away from combustibles 
  • Keep candles away from children
  • Decorations in the candle should be removed prior to burning
  • Keep burning candles away from wind and drafts
  • Trim wicks to be 1/8 to 1/4 inch tall before use
  • Use a snuffer to extinguish a candle flame instead of blowing. We offer snuffers at a great price as part of our accessory set if interested.
