How Can I Safely Use Candles?

Safety is paramount when enjoying candles. Here are some essential tips:

  • Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials and drafts.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Trim the wick to about 6mm before each use.
  • Don’t burn candles for more than four hours at a time.
  • Use a snuffer instead of blowing candles out to avoid wax splatter.
