Candle Care

(To keep you experience Simply Ahhmazing)
Below are more tips that you should follow to have a Simply Ahhmazing candle burning experience. 

* Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. Be sure the wick ember is no longer glowing.
* Burn your candle for at least 1 hour, but no longer than 4, to make your candle last longer.  
* Always keep a burning candle within sight. Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. Be sure the wick is no longer glowing.
* Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.
* Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets.
* Trim candlewicks to ¼ inch each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning and dripping.
* Always use a candle-holder specifically designed for candle use. The holder should be heat resistant, sturdy, and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax.
* Be sure the candle-holder is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. This can help prevent heat damage to underlying surfaces and prevent glass containers from breaking.
* Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.
* Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans and air currents. This will help prevent rapid, uneven burning, and avoid flame flare-ups and sooting. Drafts can also blow nearby lightweight items into the flame where they could catch fire.
* Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room. Don’t burn too many candles in a small room or in a “tight” home where air exchange is limited.
* Don’t burn a candle all the way down. Extinguish the flame if it comes too close to the holder or container. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 2 inches of wax remains or ½ inch if in a container.
* Never touch or move a burning candle or container candle when the wax is liquid.
* Never use a knife or sharp object to remove wax drippings from a glass holder. It might scratch, weaken, or cause the glass to break upon subsequent use.
* Never extinguish candles with water. The water can cause the hot wax to splatter and might cause a glass container to break.
* Be very careful if using candles during a power outage. Flashlights and other battery-powered lights are safer sources of light during a power failure.
* Extinguish a candle if it repeatedly smokes, flic
