Burning Tips

Never leave candles burning unattended, and never leave children alone with lighted candles.
Always place candles in steady candlesticks that will not burn, and keep them away from flammable materials such as curtains. If you use candle rings or decorative wreaths, remove them before the candles burn down to their level.
Do not let candles burn in a draught or close to a heat source.
Trim the wick down to a maximum of 1 cm.
If the candle gives off sooty smoke, extinguish it and trim the wick before lighting it again.
Each time the candle is extinguished, remove charred pieces of wick, remains of matches, and other impurities like traces of lacquer, from the melted wax round the wick.
Use a candle extinguisher instead of blowing candles out.
When you light a pillar candle, make sure it is allowed to burn out to the edge before extinguishing it for the first time. If it only burns for a short while, it will be spoilt by burning downwards and not outwards.

Always place candles on a level surface, and never less than 10cm apart.
The raw material used for candles is intended to give best results at normal room temperature. If the wick is too long, or if a candle is placed inside a hurricane, it may run down the sides.
If melted wax spills onto textiles, allow the wax to harden (in the freezer if possible), before removing it. The remaining stain can be reduced by ironing: place the spot between two layers of kitchen paper, place a cloth over the paper, and iron the spot with a hot iron to melt the wax, which will be absorbed by the kitchen paper. Then wash the textile normally.
