Never fall asleep while a candle is burning. Avoid placing a candle adjacent to a wall or window as soot may form. Candles and food warmers in dining rooms must not be left unattended by staff, and a fire extinguisher must be available and ready in the immediate vicinity. Remove all debris from candle.īurn on only a stable heat-resistant surface for not more than four hours at a time. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets and remove all flammable materials from the vicinity of the flame. It is unsafe to burn beyond this point as the fragrance oils collect at the bottom and may catch fire. After that point it is time to stop using that candle. It is important to use a snuffer rather than blow out the flame as the hot melted wax may blow onto your furniture or wall surface.īurn and enjoy your candle until it reaches 1/2-inch from the bottom. You occasionally might rotate your candle a bit to compensate for any slight drafts.Įxtinguishing Your Candle: Burning the candle correctly will create a sizable melt pool. The trim must not be too short, as it will extinguish itself in the melt pool.ĭrafts: A draft causes a candle to burn to one side.
Wick length determines flame height the longer the wick, the large and more unwieldy the flame. Wick Length: Trim wicks to ¼-inch and re-trim before each burn. And just as you should allow a candle to burn long enough, you should also not allow it to burn too long.
It will simply burn down and you may waste a great deal of the wax. If a candle is only lit for a short amount of time, you limit your candle from burning beyond that point.

Length of Burn: Allow a candle to burn long enough so its melt pool burns almost to the full circumference of the candle. Do not move as wax is burning or if wax is hot. Once the candle has completely burned through, we encourage you to recycle or repurpose the container.Never leave a lit candle unattended. If you happen to spill any melted wax, simply clean up with warm, soapy water. NoHo Candles cleans up easily with just soap and water.For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/4” of wax remains in the container. Do not burn a candle all the way down.Always use a snuffer to extinguish the flame to prevent wax from spattering.Always place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface non-flammable surface. A candle container can become very hot when in use.Do not burn candles in a draft, near a fan or any air current.Remove all flammable materials from vicinity of flame.Keep all candles out of reach of pets and children.Lighting a "mushroom" can lead a wick to crackle and pop and release soot into the air and onto your candle container.Īlways trim your wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting, and never burn for more than 4 hours, otherwise carbon will start to accumulate. This is the result of the candle consuming more wax than it can burn. When you don't trim the wick frequently, what happens is your wick builds the "mushroom" or in other words will develop a carbon buildup. Don't forget to trim your wicks!!! If not, I guaranteed you're going to have a big black ring around the sides of the candles, and when you light them you're going to get black smoke.Keep your wick trimmed and don't leave your candles burning all day. If you burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time, carbon will collect on the wick, and your wick will begin to "mushroom." This can cause the wick to become unstable, the flame to get too large, your candle to smoke, and soot to be released into the air and around your candle container.That way, when you burn your candle the next time, it will remember to melt all the way out to the sides. Wax has a memory, so you want to burn your candle so the melted wax spreads all the way out to the edge of your container. So, if you buy a new candle that is 3 inches in diameter, you should burn your candle for at least 3 hours (not more than 4 at a time is what we suggest). For your first burn, candles should burn for at least one hour per inch of container diameter. Big mistake! You're going to get that annoying tunnel, where the wax stays on the side of the glass or tin. Do not light your brand new candle for 30 minutes and then turn it off.
