Candle Safety
-
Burning candles should never be left unattended.
Extinguish all candles when you leave a room. Make sure the wick is no longer glowing.
- Keep candles at a safe distance from flammable elements.
- Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets.
-
Trim the wick to 1/4 length before lighting it.
Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning and dripping.
-
Always use a candle holder specifically designed for candle use.
The candle holder should be heat-resistant, sturdy and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax. Furthermore, the candle should be firmly fixed in the candle holder so that it cannot be easily knocked over.
- Keep the candle free of dirt.
-
Extinguish candles with an extinguisher rather than blowing them out.
This avoids candle stains.
