Candle safety

When lighting and burning candles, the most important thing to remember is that they are a naked flame and need to be treated with caution and respect.

• Always keep burning candles within your sight,  and snuff out before you exit the room. Never leave a lit candle unattended.

• Burn in a well ventilated room, but out of drafts.

• Keep well away from flammable surfaces such as curtains and décor.

• Keep well away from children and pets.

• Vessels become hot when lit, so be sure to place on a level, heat resistant surface while burning.

• Never touch or move a burning candle.

• Do not burn your candle for longer than 4 hours.

• Using a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame will prevent hot wax from splattering.

• We advise not to continue to burn your candle when there is 10 millimetres or less remaining. A small amount of wax should remain in the bottom of the vessel, submerging the metal wood wick sustainer/clip. This is a normal safety measure.

• Our candles come with a safety label to ensure you are informed of correct use.

• Always  keep the wick clear of floral debris. As the candle burns down low, or if florals slide toward wick, immediately extinguish flame, wait for the wax to cool, and remove floral debris from bowl. Failure to do so may result in debris catching fire.
