Candles are a warming, welcoming, and comforting addition to any home, but let's be real about the nature of them...they are, after all, tiny flames. Every candle comes with general safety and cautionary guidelines, but let's break those bullet points down and outline exactly why each one should be taken seriously.
On our warning page, you will find the following bullet points:
Always burn your candle within sight and away from drafts and things that can catch fire.
Keep away from children and pets.
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting every time.
Keep the wax pool free from debris.
Do not burn for longer than 4 hours. Do not touch or move the candle until it cools.
Stop burning when 1/2 inch of unmelted wax remains.
