Candle Care & Safety
At Honu Dreams, we prioritize your safety and well-being while providing a delightful aromatic experience. Here are some essential tips for using candles safely:
1. Trim the Wick: Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch to prevent excessive flame and soot buildup. This helps your candle burn evenly and longer. When you receive your new candle, the wick is already trimmed to this height, so you are ready to burn! Just remember to trim for subsequent uses, if needed. Want to make it simple and not measure? Trim just a little shorter than the length of the average adult nailbed (not including the grown out tip).
2. Burn in a Safe Area: Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts like open windows and ceiling fans that are on, flammable materials, and away from flammable items that could fall into the flame. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended!
3. Limit Burn Time: For the best performance, burn the candle long enough for the melt pool to reach the edges of the jar, but do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. This helps avoid overheating the container and ensures a clean, even burn.
4. Extinguish Properly: Use a snuffer or gently blow out the candle to extinguish the flame. Avoid using water, as it can cause hot wax to splatter and the container to break.
5. Keep It Clean: Ensure your candle remains free of any debris, such as matches or wick trimmings, to prevent flare-ups.
6. Hot to Touch: When the candle is lit, assume to glass is hot and do not try to move it to a new location to avoid injury and spill of the melted wax. If you need to move the candle, blow it out first, wait for the glass to cool, and then relight in the new location.
