BURNING SAFETY
Burning Candles is a responsibility! When in doubt put it out!
ARE CANDLES SAFE TO USE?
There are always warning labels on my candles, but what do they mean? Candles are safe when burned properly and responsibly, and according to manufacturers' directions. When burning candles, consumers should always follow these simple, common sense steps.
- never leave a burning candle unattended
- keep candles out of the reach of children and pets
- keep candles away from drafts, vents and flammable objects
- trim wicks prior to each use and keep trimmed
- extinguish a candle that smokes (check instructions before re-lighting)
- keep wick trimmed to 1/4 of an inch and centered in the candle
- extinguish candle when 1/2" of wax remains in a container
- use only candle holders that have been manufactured for use with candles
- keep matches and other debris out of the candle
- extinguish the falme if it burns too close to the container or holder
- do not move a glass container when the wax is liquid
