1. Safety Precautions:

It is very important to follow safety precautions when burning candles. Please make note of the following instructions:

• NEVER leave a burning candle unattended.
• Keep candles out of reach of pets and children.
• Do not burn near drafts, vents or flammable objects.
• Only burn candles on heat resistant surfaces.
• Caution should be taken to avoid damage to furniture.
• Always burn in a well-ventilated room.
• Extinguish flame if it smokes, flickers or if flame touches container.
• Do not burn candle if glass container is damaged or cracked.

2. Proper care

• Candles should be burned until the wax pool reaches the sides of the container.
• Tea lights should be burned on a heat resistant surface.
• Always keep wick trimmed to 1/4 inch to minimize smoke and soot.
• Discontinue burning when 1/4 inch of wax remains in bottom of container. Continued burning could damage the glass container.

3. How do I properly extinguish my candles?

Never extinguish your candles by placing the lid on the container.

When extinguishing a candle, use a wick snuffer or dipper. If you do not have a wick snuffer or dipper, place your finger in front of the flame, and blow ON your finger. The air will travel AROUND your finger to extinguish the flame. Blowing air directly on the flame can be dangerous. Once you blow out the candle, dip the wick into the melted wax (with something that is NOT flammable) to ensure it is completely burned out.

4. Will the candles leave black soot in the container?

When burned properly, our candles are virtually soot free. If the wicks are not trimmed properly, soot may form. Remember to trim your wicks to 1/4 inch prior to burning.
Never extinguish your candle by placing the lid on the container. Not only is this dangerous, it will leave black soot in the container.

5. How do I clean up a soy wax spill?

Unlike paraffin wax, all you need to clean up a soy wax spill is soap and water.
