Keep small children and pets away from burning candles.
The first burn is the most important!! The candle wax must pool to the edge on the initial burn. Your wax has sort of a memory. If your candle doesn’t burn to the edges, it will begin to tunnel and won’t burn evenly the next time.
Place candles on an even surface.
Keep the wick trimmed to ¼”. If any part of the wick falls off, remove that piece from the wax before relighting.
Tealights can float in water. Put some water in a decorative jar or bowl and place the tealight on top of the water. Doing this makes a beautiful, unique presentation.
Burning candles for more than four hours can cause the wick to form a mushroom or carbon deposit on the tip. This can create soot and smoke.
Candles beautify any room with colors and amazing fragrance. Enjoy them, but use them safely.
