Soy Candle Burning Instructions and  Soy Candle Care Guide.

Never leave a burning candle utnattended, even for a short amount of time.
Put out all candles when leaving a room or going to sleep.

Don't let candles 'burn themselves out.'
Never use a candle as a night light for children or when reading, without adult supervision.
Keep burning candles away from children and pets.
Do not place your candles near flammable objects such as curtains, walls, bedding, or papers/fuel sources.
Keep your candle free of wick trimmings or other foreign matter that could ignite a fire.
Make sure your candles are placed on a stable, heat resistant level surface.
Avoid burning your candles in drafty positions, such as open windows, ceiling fans or air currents.
Put out the flame if  becomes too high or if  starts flickering and is smoking.
Keep your candle wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times to avoid carbon build up and gain maximum burn time.
Allow your candle to cool before trimming the wick or relighting.

Do not attempt to put out your candle by pressing your fingertips together around the wick.

***Never put out your candles with  water.  The water can cause the hot wax to splatter everywhere and may cause the container to break or shatter into pieces. ***

 Never burn a candle in a  jar or container that is chipped or cracked. Chances are the jar may shatter if it is already cracked.
It is not advisable to allow a candle to burn completely down to the bottom.
Discontinue using your candle when about 1/2 inch of wax remains.
Do not allow the flame to touch sides of container, this could cause a container to crack.
Containers may become hot, handle with care, even after you have put out the flame. It takes a while for the jar to cool down.
Allow your candle to cool before replacing the lid onto the jar. 

 Always keep wicks trimmed to ¼” to keep candles burning correctly. Soy candles do not emit any toxins, however,   if the wick is too long or the candle is burned more that 3 hours at a time, soot from the wick may accumulate on the jars. This is NOT the same as the toxic soot left from paraffin candles but it can still be unsightly. Keep your candles burning nicely by adhering to these guidelines. We suggest using a Wick Trimmers at all times. These are available for purchase on our website. 

 he optimal burn time is based on the diameter of the jar, one hour for each inch. Doing so allows both the candle fragrance to distribute throughout a room, and it allows the soy wax to heat evenly to the sides of the candle, so that it burns down evenly and with minimal residue. However, if you like to keep a candle burning from morning to night, it’s very important to extinguish the candle every 3-4 hours and trim the wick.  This will keep the flame from becoming too large, the jar from becoming too hot and prevent soot from accumulating around the top of the jar.
