The first full week in October is fire safety week. In honor of this event, HeavenScent Soy Candles would like to remind everyone to burn candles responsibly and to follow the candle safety tips below.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended
- Keep candles away from combustible materials such as curtains and bedding material
- Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets
Some additional tips that will help you use and enjoy candles safely are:
- Keep candles away from drafts and vents
- Trim wicks to ¼" prior to each use
- Normally don’t burn candles more than four hours at a time
- Extinguish taper or pillar candles when they get within 2" of their holders
- Always use containers that have been made for candle usage
- Discontinue use of a container candle when ½" of wax remains
- Keep matches, wick trimmings and foreign objects out of the candle wax
