Enjoying your candles

Always burn a candle for two hours initially, blow out and cool completely before a second burn.
Always put candles on a heat-resistant surface.
Don’t put candles near curtains or other fabrics or furniture. Keep them out of draughts.
Don’t put them under shelves. It’s easy to forget that there’s a lot of heat above a burning candle. If you put it under a shelf or other surface, then it can burn the surface. Make sure there’s at least three feet (one metre) between a candle and any surface above it.
Keep clothes and hair away.
Keep children and pets away.
Leave at least four inches (10cm) between two burning candles
Take care with votive or scented candles. These kinds of candles turn to liquid to release their fragrance, so put them in a glass or metal holder if non provided.
Tea and coffee cup candles are more likely to have tunnelling than jar candles because the rim is wider than the foot. This is normal and not a fault.
Don’t move them when they’re burning. Extinguish candles before moving them.
Don’t let anything fall into the hot wax like match sticks.
Extinguish candles before you leave a room. Never go to sleep with a candle still burning. And never leave a burning candle unsupervised, especially in a child’ bedroom.
A candle snuffer is safer than blowing out a candle, which can send sparks and hot wax flying.
Double check they’re out. Candles that have been put out can go on smouldering and start a fire.
