Candle Care Instructions

Here are some tips for caring for a candle:
Safety: Keep candles away from children and pets, and never leave them unattended. Place them on a heat-resistant surface and keep them away from anything that could catch fire. 
 Burning: Burn candles for a maximum of four hours at a time. If you burn them for too long, the wick may move or slant. 
Trimming: Trim the wick to the length specified on the label before relighting. You can also trim it to about 5 mm when the wax has set. 
Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame to prevent smoking and wax from escaping. 
Wax: Allow the wax to pool to the edges of the candle to prevent tunneling. You can also trim excess wax from pillar candles to ensure an even burn. 
Wicks: Keep the wick centered and straighten it after extinguishing the flame. 
Debris: Keep the wax pool free of debris, such as wick trimmings and matches. 
Lighting: Light your candle in a well-ventilated room, away from drafts and fans. 
Label: The label on the bottom of the jar will have instructions for caring for your candle.
