*How to Properly Burn your Candles
1.
To
achieve full burning potential,
you must burn candle long enough
each time to melt the top layer of wax to container’s edge.
The candle industry standard is 1 hour per inch in
diamater. Burning your candle for small
amounts of time causes pitting and reduces burn time. If
you burn for less than this time, try using a large, fully
stretched out paper clip to scrap off warm wax residue on
sides of jar so it can be reburned Do this as it burns,
not all at once.
2.
Make sure
wick is straight before lighting.
3.
Keep your
wicks trimmed to 1/4" at all times.
4.
Keep burning
candles away from children, pets.
5.
Caution: Hot
wax burns!
6.
Keep your
candles away from drafts. Drafts will cause your candle
to burn unevenly and faster and may present a fire hazard.
7.
Place all
burning candles on a flame-resistant surface. Do not
place a burning candle next to any flammable items.
8.
When trimming
candles, do not leave trimmings in your wax, discard
appropriately in the garbage.
9.
Never leave a
burning candle unattended!
In
order to blow out your candles, snuff your candles out as
opposed to blowing them out. Blowing out your candles may
allow lit pieces of wick to land on something that is
flammable!
