Light up. Responsibly.
When it comes to enjoying the warm and inviting glow of a candle, it's important to prioritize safety. At Nebulosa Candle Co., we want to ensure that your candle burning experience is not only enjoyable but also safe. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind:
1. Always Trim the Wick
Before lighting your candle, make sure to trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch. This helps prevent excessive flickering, smoking, and uneven burning. A trimmed wick also reduces the risk of the flame becoming too large and potentially causing accidents.
2. Place on a Heat-Resistant Surface
Ensure that your candle is placed on a heat-resistant surface, such as a candle holder or a sturdy coaster. This helps protect your furniture from heat damage and prevents any accidental fires. Avoid placing candles near flammable materials or in drafty areas.
3. Keep Away from Children and Pets
Always keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets. Curious little hands or paws can accidentally knock over a candle, leading to potential injuries or fires. It's best to place candles in areas where they cannot be easily accessed by children or pets.
4. Never Leave Unattended
Never leave a burning candle unattended. It's important to extinguish the flame before leaving the room or going to bed. Accidents can happen in a matter of seconds, so always prioritize safety by ensuring that the flame is completely extinguished.
5. Avoid Overburning
Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Overburning can cause the candle to overheat, potentially leading to the glass container cracking or the wax melting unevenly. To maximize the lifespan of your candle, it's best to follow the recommended burn time.
6. Extinguish Safely
When extinguishing your candle, use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid using water, as it can cause the hot wax to splatter or the glass container to crack. Allow the candle to cool down before moving it or relighting it.
