Candle Safety

Taking the time to read, understand, and practice these safety tips will help insure your experience is a pleasant one.

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Do not burn near flammable objects such as curtains, lampshades, or blankets.

Burn only on heat resistant surface.  Candles can become hot enough to damage furniture.  Do not move a burning candle, or place in a draft. Keep candle free of foreign material - matches, wick clippings.

Keep wick trimmed to 1/4 inch (about the thickness of a pencil) to avoid excessive smoking.  Do not burn if container is cracked.  Discontinue burning when less than 1/2 inch of wax remains.
