Candle Care & Safety 101

We truly care about proper candle care. Follow these steps for safe candle burning. 

 

1) Trim the wick to 1/4 of an inch before lighting or relighting your candle. We always trim the wicks as we make them, But they still need to be trimmed before each use. Use a wick trimmer .

(1/4 of an inch is just a tad bit shorter than the thickness on an iPhone)

2) NEVER place a lit candle around cloth or flammable items or even low spaces were kids or pets may knock the candle down. 

3) Place the candle on top of a flat microwave-safe dish. If something were to crack the glass or tip it over, the dish will protect your furniture from the hot wax. And since it is microwave-safe, the dish will not crack from the heat produced from the candle. 

4) Enjoy your candle! Just remember these steps.
