Candle Care & Safety Guide

Before Lighting Your Candle

Before each use, take a moment to prepare a safe space for your candle.

• Place the candle on a stable, level and heat-resistant surface.
• Keep it away from curtains, paper, bedding, decorations and other flammable materials.
• Position it away from draughts, open windows, fans and air conditioning vents.
• Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
• Check the container and wax for visible damage before lighting.
• Remove loose packaging and any material not intended to remain with the candle during use.
• Follow any additional instructions supplied with the individual product.

Never use a candle with a damaged container or one that appears unsafe to burn.

During Burning

Always use your candle with care and remain aware of its surroundings.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish it before leaving the room or going to sleep.
• Keep the candle away from anything that could catch fire.
• Do not move the candle while the wax is hot or liquid.
• Keep children and pets at a safe distance.
• Avoid placing multiple burning candles too close together. Follow the spacing instructions supplied with the product.
• Do not allow the candle to burn beyond the maximum burning time stated by the manufacturer.
• Stop using the candle when the remaining wax reaches the minimum level specified by the manufacturer.
• Never allow the flame to come into contact with the container or surrounding objects.

If the flame becomes unusually large, the candle produces excessive smoke or the container becomes damaged, extinguish it safely if you can do so without putting yourself at risk. Allow it to cool completely before handling it.

Candle Wick Care

A properly maintained wick can help support a more controlled burn.

If the product instructions recommend trimming the wick, allow the candle to cool and the wax to solidify before trimming it to the specified length. Remove loose wick trimmings and other debris from the wax before lighting again.

Do not trim a wick while the candle is burning, and do not allow wick trimmings or other foreign material to remain in the wax.

Always follow the wick-care instructions provided for your particular candle, as recommendations can vary by design.

Extinguishing Your Candle

Extinguish your candle carefully after use.

• Use an appropriate candle snuffer or follow the extinguishing method recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not use water to extinguish a burning candle, as this may cause hot wax to splatter or the container to break.
• Avoid blowing forcefully on the flame, which may scatter hot wax.
• Check that the flame is completely out before leaving the candle.
• Allow the wax and container to cool fully before touching, moving or storing the candle.

Never leave a candle unattended while the wick is still glowing or the wax remains hot.

Candle Placement and Heat Safety

Burning candles generate heat. Choosing the right location helps reduce the risk of fire and accidental burns.

Use a suitable heat-resistant surface to protect furniture. Some candle containers and the surfaces beneath them can become hot during use.

Never leave a burning candle on an unstable surface or in a place where it could be easily knocked over.

Fragrance and Indoor Use

Our collection includes sweet, fruity and other playful fragrance blends. Fragrance preferences and sensitivities vary from person to person.

Use candles in a suitably ventilated room and avoid prolonged exposure to concentrated fragrance if it causes discomfort. Discontinue use if you experience irritation or other adverse effects.

Keep candles away from food preparation areas and follow any product-specific warnings regarding fragrance ingredients or use.

If you have concerns about a particular candle's fragrance or ingredients, check its product information and packaging before use, or contact us for clarification.

Storage and Candle Care

To help maintain your candle's condition between uses:

• Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Keep it away from open flames and other ignition sources.
• Protect it from dust when not in use, once it has cooled completely.
• Keep the original product label and safety instructions for reference.
• Store it securely where children and pets cannot reach it.

Heat and direct sunlight may affect the appearance, texture or fragrance of candle wax. Follow any storage instructions supplied with your product.

When to Stop Using a Candle

Stop using your candle if:

• The container is cracked, chipped or otherwise damaged.
• The candle burns abnormally or the flame becomes difficult to control.
• You notice unusual smoke, persistent soot or other unexpected burning behaviour.
• The candle reaches the end-of-use point specified by the manufacturer.
• You have any reason to believe the product is unsafe.

Do not attempt to repair a damaged candle container or continue burning a candle that appears unsafe.
