Before Lighting – here are some tips on candle burning safety. 

• Trim the wick to ¼ inch each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping or flaring.

• Always use a candleholder specifically designed for candle use. It should be heat resistant, sturdy, and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax.

• Burn candles in a well-ventilated room.

• Place the candleholder on a stable, heat-resistant surface. This will also help prevent possible heat damage to counters and table surfaces and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking.

• Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.

• Avoid drafts, vents or air currents. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, sooting, and excessive dripping.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on burn time and proper use.
