Candle Care
Candle Care: How to use:
1. Trim the Wick:
Before lighting, trim the wooden wick to approximately 1/4 inch. This helps maintain a clean burn and prevents excessive smoke.
2. First Burn is Crucial:
Allow the candle to burn until the wax pool reaches the edges of the container. This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn in subsequent uses.
3. Avoid Drafts:
Place candles away from drafts to prevent uneven burning and ensure a steady flame.
4. Burn in a Safe Area:
Always burn candles on a heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials. Keep them out of reach of pets and children.
5. Mind the Burn Time:
Avoid burning candles for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool before relighting.
6. Extinguish Safely:
Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid using the candle lid to extinguish, as this may cause smoke and smouldering.
7. Monitor the Wick:
Ensure the wooden wick is centred and upright while burning. If the flame becomes too high, extinguish the candle, let it cool, and trim the wick before relighting.
8. Keep the Wax Pool Clean:
Remove debris or trimmings from the wax pool to maintain a clean and efficient burn.
9. Caution with Container:
The container may become hot during use. Allow it to cool before handling.
10. Store Safely:
Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and melting.
Candle Safety: Safety Precautions
1. Never Leave Unattended:
Do not leave a burning candle unattended. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
2. Container Heat:
The container may become hot during use. Allow it to cool before touching or moving.
3. Glass Breakage:
Discard the candle if the glass is cracked or broken. Do not use if the container is damaged.
4. Allergies and Sensitivities:
If you have allergies or sensitivities, review the ingredient list to ensure compatibility. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
5. Avoid Overcrowding:
Place candles at least 3 inches apart to prevent overheating
6. Storage:
Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
7. Keep Away from Combustibles:
Keep candles away from curtains, bedding, and other flammable materials.
8. Caution with Wick Debris:
Remove any debris or trimmings from the wax to prevent flaring and uneven burning.
9. Emergency:
In case of a candle-related emergency, use a candle snuffer or a non-flammable object to smother the flame. Never use water to extinguish a candle.
By following these care instructions and safety precautions, you can enjoy your candle responsibly and maximize its aromatic and visual appeal.
