Candle Safety - Proper Burning Instructions

Important Recommendations You've probably heard this before: trim your wick to a 1/4” inch before each lighting. Toenail clippers work great for this, especially as the wax burns down the jar.

The first burn, be sure to burn about 2-4 hours. Don’t burn longer than 6 hours.

Always burn your candle at least 1 hour, or long enough to reach a full melt pool (larger candles will need to be longer).

Extinguish your candle when it is within ½ inch of the bottom, do not burn it down further, the candle is done.

If your flame gets too large (usually after it's been burning awhile), extinguish the candle, trim your wick, then relight.

Use a bent paperclip to drown your wick in the melt pool of wax for a method to extinguish your candle with no smoke.

Place your candle in a draft-free area, to discourage smoking and to help it burn evenly. If you can see the flame flickering, you should move the candle to another location with less air movement.

If after a burn, the candles look bumpy or flaky on top, that’s a normal texture for soy sometimes.

Keep the wax pool free of foreign objects, such as matches and wick trimmings.

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Never forget a lit candle is fire.

Be aware of surroundings when burning (curtains nearby, etc), keep the area clear.

Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets.

Ensure that flammable materials are removed from the vicinity of the flame.

Always place your candle on a non-flammable surface.
