Candle Safety & Care
- On every burn allow the wax to fully melt to the edge of the jar for the best performance of your candle.
- Keep your wick trimmed by trimming off the top black bits of the wick with your fingers, or use nail clippers to shorten the wick to be about 1/8″ – 3/16″.
- On every new burn, re-trim the wick to about 1/8″ – 3/16" the shorter height allows the wax to capillary up the wick to feed the flame properly.
- If the wick is too long then it will not burn properly and eventually go out
- Always keep a burning candle within sight
- Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire
- Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets
- Always use a candleholder or vessel specifically designed for the heat of candle use
