Candle Safety

Some safety information for our candles.

Safe Handling

Gel candles are supposed to have a smaller flame than traditional candles. Trim wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting.  Let cool completely before moving a gel candle, do not move while gel is liquidized. Do not use if the container is cracked.

Always follow general candle burning guidelines:

  • NEVER leave a burning candle unattended
  • Keep away from pets and children
  • Trim wick every time before burning (for gel candles trim to 1/4 inch above the wax)
  • Do not leave a candle burning "for atmosphere" in your bedroom before sleeping
  • Keep candles away from curtains and other flammable materials
  • Place candles where you will not have to reach over them
  • Keep candles away from drafts
  • Keep candle free of debris from matches or wick trimming
