Everything you have to know to burn your candles safely.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u2022\u00a0When lighting for the first time burn until the wax melts across the entire surface to the sides of the vessel (this prevents tunnelling, and creates an even burn for the duration of the candle\u2019s \u2018life\u2019) This may take 2-4 hours.<\/p>

\u2022\u00a0Candles are sensitive to temperature and light. To prevent candles from fading, cracking and melting, store your candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, dust and fluorescent light. Store your candles in an upright position and don\u2019t leave your candles in a car on a warm day.<\/p>

\u2022 Never leave burning candles unattended.<\/p>

\u2022\u00a0Never go to sleep with a candle still burning, and never leave a burning candle or oil burner in a child\u2019s bedroom.<\/p>

\u2022 Always remove labels and wrapping before lighting candles and other home fragrance products.<\/p>

\u2022 Do not position candles or fragrance products on or near TV cabinets, electrical items or heat sources.<\/p>

\u2022 Never burn a candle for longer than four hours at a time. After the maximum recommended burn time, let it cool, trim the wick and relight.<\/p>

\u2022 Ensure that your wick is always centred.<\/p>

\u2022 Always use candles and fragrance products on an appropriate tray. Under no circumstances should a candle be placed directly on a table or any other surface that may be subject to damage.<\/p>

\u2022 Under no circumstances should any product that generates heat, flame or fragrance be placed directly onto antique, valuable or highly polished furniture.<\/p>

\u2022 Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.<\/p>

\u2022 A draught can cause a candle to smoke. Avoid burning candles in an area where there is a draught.<\/p>

\u2022 Do not use if the glass container is cracked, chipped or broken.<\/p>

\u2022 If a candle has multiple wicks, then all wicks must be lit every time.<\/p>

\u2022 Don\u2019t burn candles completely \u2013 discard them once they have burnt to 2cm from their base or holder.<\/p>

\u2022 Candle containers may become hot. Handle with care and wait for the wax to set and the candle to cool before moving. Never move a burning candle.<\/p>

\u2022 When lighting a candle using a match, take care to prevent any match debris from dropping onto the candle.<\/p>

\u2022 Always keep the wax pool free from foreign objects such as wick trimmings, wick particles, match debris and dust.<\/p>

\u2022 A burning candle may generate significant heat above the flame so always position well away from combustible materials.<\/p>

\u2022\u00a0Don\u2019t put candles\u00a0under\u00a0shelves. It\u2019s easy to forget that there\u2019s a lot of heat above a burning candle. If you put your candle under a shelf or other surface it may burn the surface above.<\/p>

\u2022\u00a0Make sure there are at least three feet (one meter) between a candle and any surface above it.<\/p>

\u2022\u00a0Keep clothes and hair safely away. If there\u2019s any chance you could lean across a candle and forget it\u2019s there, put it somewhere else. You don\u2019t want to set fire to your clothes or your hair.<\/p>

\u2022\u00a0Always read and follow the manufacturer\u2019s use and safety instructions carefully. Don\u2019t burn a candle longer than the manufacturer recommends.<\/p>

\u2022\u00a0You shouldn\u2019t store your\u00a0candles for longer than 12 months from the date of purchase. After 12 months, candles can diffuse and burn less than expected.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
