Candle Safety

To prevent fire or serious injury we encourage you to use our candles safely and responsibly and follow these common sense usage guidelines:

NEVER:

  • leave a burning candle unattended
  • burn your candle in the reach of children or pets
  • burn your candle on or near anything that can catch fire such as but not limited to drapes, curtains, papers, books, bedding, blankets, decorations etc. 
  • burn your candle in the way of a draft, open window, fan etc
  • burn your candle for longer than 4 hours at a time
  • try to pick up candle that is burning or has recently been put out. Only move a candle once it has cooled
  • use our lid to extinguish your candle flame, our lids are not designed for this purpose

ALWAYS

  • trim the wick to 1/8 inch before use to prevent flaring or an overly large flame. You can simply pinch off the black part of the wick.
  • give your candle a nice clear, heat proof, uncluttered area to sit on
  • extinguish the flame if it becomes to high or is repeatedly flickering. Trim the wick, check for drafts
  • leave at least 4 inches between burning candles
  • place your candle on a stable, heat proof surface
  • keep your wax pool clear of matches, burned wick and other debris
  • be sure to extinguish your candle properly and carefully after use
  • wait until the flame is completely extinguished, the smoke has cleared and the candle is cool before replacing your lid

WARNING!

  • Container may become hot during use
  • Stop burning this candle when only 1/2 inch of wax remains in the vessel
  • Blow gently to extinguish to avoid splattering wax, especially if you have created a large wax pool
