GENERAL CANDLE RULES:
- Prior to lighting, remove and discard packing.
- Keep burning candles within sight at all times: never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Keep burning candles away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets.
- Keep wick trimmed to 1/2 cm at all times
- If Smoking occurs, extinguish the flame, return the wick to 1/2 cm, remove trimmings and relight.
- Only burn candles in or on suitable holders and place them on heat and fire resistant surfaces.
- Do not place candles on or near other heat sources and never directly on furniture.
- Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches or any combustible material. Keep the wick centred.
- Place your candle in an area from draughts to discourage dripping and smoking.
- Extinguish candles with care, as wax may splatter. A candle quencher or snuffer is recommended.
JAR CANDLES:
- Glass containers are fragile: handle with care. Avoid glass-to-glass contact when handling the lid and don't use jars that are cracked, chipped or scratched.
- Discontinue use when 1.5cm of wax remains, as glass may shatter. Do not refill jars with wax.
- Do not allow the flame to touch the side of the jar, as it may become hot. Handle carefully.
- Minimize the wax left on the sides by burning the candle until the wax pool reaches the edge of the jar ( this can take up to three hours ). It's normal for some wax to remain and the amount varies per colour, fragrance and burning environment.
- Extinguish carefully before replacing the lid.
SCENTED TEA LIGHTS:
- Do not burn in an enclosed space like a potpourri pot. For this purpose use unscented 4-6 hour teal lights and be sure the burner is well-ventilated.
- If wick smokes or builds up carbon, extinguish flame and remove the carbon before relighting.
SAMPLERS® VOTIVE CANDLE:
-
Votives are made to liquefy; burn them only in appropriate holders, never burn freestanding.
TARTS® WAX POTPOURRI:
- Place a Tart® Wax Potpourri in a suitable potpourri burner and light an unscented tea light candle beneath.
- To change fragrances, extinguish the flame and use a potholder to pick up the burner and pour the liquid wax into a lined wastebasket. Or you can wait until the wax is harden and the pot is back to room temperature, place it in a freezer for about 3-5 minutes and pop it out into the palm of your hand!
CLEANING JAR CANDLES:
- Should the mouth of a jar candle become blacken. simply extinguish the flame, allow it t0 cool and carefully wipe the rim with a dry paper towel. You can minimize this by keeping the wick trimmed to1/2 cm ( see burning instruction at left ).
CLEANING SPILLED WAX:
- We strongly suggest you seek professional advice from experts such as carpet cleaners or furniture refinishers. Prevent accidents by using candles with the utmost care, as instructed.
