Candle Etiquette

1. Your first burn is your most important. Before burning your candle, trim the wick at least 1/4 inch. This prevent uneven burning, dripping or flaring.

2. Keep the pool of wax free of wick trimming and any debris at all time.

3. Place the candle on stable, heat-resistant surface. This will also prevent possible heat damage to counters and table surfaces, and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking.

4. Avoid drafts, vents or air current. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, sooting, and excessive dripping. 

5. Burn at least 2 hours to get an even wax pool. You can burn up to 4 hours a time only.

6. Never leave a burning candle unattended. If you are going to leave the room or go to bed, be sure to extinguish all candles first.

7. Never touch or move a burning candle. 

8. Stop burning a candle when there is 1/4 inch of wax left in the vessel.

9. Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Before re-lighting, let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check for unwanted drafts. 

10. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture and flammable decor. 

11. Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do not place lit candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.

12. Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle, if available, as its the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.

13. Do not use water to extinguish a candle, this can cause the hot wax to splatter and could break a glass container.

14. Before leaving the room, make sure your candle is completely out and there is no glow.

15. Do not touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled or the wax become solid.
