1. Choose Quality Candles
At Light Your Way Candle Co, we take great pride in using high-quality materials to produce our candles. When selecting candles, always opt for reputable brands like ours to ensure they are made from premium wax and scents. Cheap or poorly made candles can pose a safety risk, so investing in quality products is essential.
2. Mind the Placement
Where you place your candles can make a significant difference in safety. Keep candles away from flammable objects such as curtains, paper, or furniture. Always ensure there is ample space between candles, especially when burning multiple candles simultaneously. A sturdy and heat-resistant surface is vital to prevent accidents.
3. Trim the Wicks
Before lighting your candle, remember to trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch. This practice ensures a controlled flame and minimizes the risk of the wick becoming too long, which can lead to erratic burning and potential hazards.
4. Never Leave Unattended
Although our candles are designed to enhance relaxation, it's essential to never leave a burning candle unattended. Accidents can happen unexpectedly, so if you need to leave the room, extinguish the candle first.
5. Avoid Drafts
Drafts can cause candles to burn unevenly, flicker excessively, or, in the worst cases, lead to accidents. Position candles away from open windows, fans, and air conditioning vents to enjoy a steady, consistent burn.
6. Extinguish Candles Safely
When you're ready to put out your candle, use a candle snuffer or gently blow it out. Avoid using water to extinguish a candle, as this can cause splattering and damage the wick.
7. Store Candles Properly
Keep your candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Extreme temperatures can affect the quality of the wax and scent, potentially reducing the overall performance of the candle.
