How do I burn candles safely?

​

  1. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep lit candle in sight at all times!

  2. 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.

  3. Keep lit candles away from drafts - open windows, air conditioners, vents, fans, etc.

  4. Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.

  5. Extinguish the flame if it becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Trim the wick and check for drafts before re-lighting.

  6. If there is any chance you might doze off to sleep, blow out your candle immediately!

  7. Wait until the flame extinguishes completely and clears of smoke before replacing our lid.

  8. If you’ve created a large wax pool during your burn, blow it out gently to avoid wax splattering.
