Before Lighting:

Before burning any of our candles, always straighten then trim the wick to ¼ inch.

You can use a wick trimmer, nail clippers, or scissors to cut the wick.

Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping or flaring and can be a fire hazard.

Keep the wax clear of wick trimmings, match pieces and debris at all times.

Always burn a candle on a heat and fire safe surface that is fire resistant, sturdy, and large enough to contain any drips of melted wax.

Burn candles in a well-ventilated but not drafty room:

Avoid burning a candle in an area effected by drafts, vents or air currents. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, sooting, and weak scent. If the candle scent is not as strong as you expect, you may have ventilation or air filtration systems diminishing scent throw.

In general, it is recommended that you do not burn candles for longer than four hours and cool for at least two hours before relighting.

Candles burned longer than four hours may overheat and create a fire hazard.

When lighting a candle, use long matches or a long-reach lighter.

Always keep your hair and loose clothing away from the flame.

Always use caution when extinguishing a candle, whether by blowing out, using a snuffer, or with a wick dipper.

Do not use the candle lid to extinguish the candle.

Never use water to extinguish a candle. Water will cause the hot wax to splatter and might break a glass container.

Make sure the candle is completely out and the wick ember is no longer glowing or smoking before walking away from the candle.

Do not touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled.

Never use a knife or sharp object to remove wax drippings from a glass holder. It might scratch, weaken, or cause the glass to break upon subsequent use.
