Candle and Wax Melt Safety

Candles

When it comes to candle safety and burning recommendations, it is important to follow certain guidelines to prevent accidents and ensure a safe environment. Here are some recommendations:

1. Never leave a burning candle unattended: Always extinguish candles before leaving the room or going to sleep.

2.  Place candles on a stable and heat-resistant surface, away from curtains, papers, or any other flammable objects.

3. Before lighting a candle, trim the wick to about ¼ inch to prevent excessive flickering and soot formation.

4.Keep candles away from drafts, as they can cause uneven burning and increase the risk of accidents.

5. Use candle holders: Place candles in sturdy holders that are specifically designed for candle use. This helps prevent them from tipping over and catching fire.

6. Keep out of reach of children and pets: 

7. Allow the wax to coo completely before moving or touching it to avoid burns.

8. Extinguish candles properly: Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish the candle. Avoid using water, as it can cause hot wax to splatter.

Remember, practicing candle safety is crucial to prevent accidents and maintain a safe environment.
