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.
