How do I burn candles safely?
​
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep lit candle in sight at all times!
-
Never burn a candle on or near anything that might catch fire, like loose papers, fabric, bedding, books, drapes, decorations, etc. Play it safe and give your candle a nice clear area to sit on.
-
Keep lit candles away from drafts - open windows, air conditioners, vents, fans, etc.
-
Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.
-
Extinguish the flame if it becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Trim the wick and check for drafts before re-lighting.
-
If there is any chance you might doze off to sleep, blow out your candle immediately!
-
Wait until the flame extinguishes completely and clears of smoke before replacing our lid.
-
If you’ve created a large wax pool during your burn, blow it out gently to avoid wax splattering.
