We want you to enjoy our products in a safe way. Safety information is detailed on all of our products, but here is a list of our tips to safely burning candles and melts.
1) Never leave a burning candle unattended. If you, for any reason, leave a room that has a burning candle in it, even just for a few minutes, ensure you extinguish all candles first. Before leaving the room, make sure your candle is completely out and there is no glow coming from the wick ember. Do not touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled.
2) Once there is only 10mm of wax left in the vessel, discard the candle and do not burn any further.
3) Always keep candles 10cm apart from each other.
4) Always ensure you burn candles on a heatproof surface.
5) If a flame starts to flicker, becomes high or moves with a draft, extinguish the flame immediately. Before re-lighting, let the candle cool and trim the wick to 5mm.
6) Never burn a candle on or near anything that is flammable.
7) Keep burning candles away from all furniture, textiles, paper, flammable homewares etc.
8) Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.
9) Do not place lit candles where they can be knocked over by anyone.
10) When extinguishing a candle, use a snuffer, as it’s the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering. Never use water to extinguish a candle, this can cause the hot wax to splatter and could break a glass container.
