General Candle Burning Instructions

Thought this would be a great spot to put our burning instructions.

General candle burning instructions:

Prior to lighting, please remove all packaging.
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 1/8” at all times.
If smoking occurs, extinguish flame, re-trim the wick to 1/8”, remove trimmings and relight.
Only burns candles in or on suitable holders and place them on heat and fire resistant surfaces.
Do not place on or near other heat sources, and never directly on furniture.
Keep wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches or any combustible material. Keep the wick centered.
Place your candle in an area free from drafts 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 1/2”to 1” of wax remains, as glass may shatter. Do not refill jars with wax.
If smoking occurs, extinguish flame, re-trim the wick to 1/8”.
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 until the wax pool reaches the edge of the jar (usually about one hour per inch of diameter). It’s normal for some wax to remain, and the amount varies per color, fragrance and burning environment.
Extinguish carefully before replacing the lid.

Pillars:

To prevent dripping, extinguish the flame when the wax pool reaches the edge and allow candle to cool and harden before relighting.
Discontinue use when ½” of wax remains.

Taper candles:

Be sure tapers are straight and set firmly in their holders. Trim wick to 1/8” before lighting.
To prevent possible dripping: avoid drafts, excessive vibrations or nearby heat sources.
Hurricane lanterns may cause dripping due to the build up of heat. We suggest using a decorative bobeche, designed to catch dripping wax.

Scented tealights:

Do not burn in an enclosed space like a potpourri pot or Tart® burner. For this purpose, use Tart® Warmers (unscented tea 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 candles:

Votives are made to liquefy; burn them only in appropriate holders, never burn freestanding.

Tarts® wax Potpourri:

Place Tarts® Wax Potpourri in a suitable potpourri burner, and light an unscented tea light candle beneath (Tart® Warmers, which burn with a low, controlled flame, are recommended).
To change fragrances, extinguish the flame and use potholder to pick up the tart burner and pour the melted wax into a lined wastebasket. Or you can harden the wax in a freezer, and pop it out into the palm of your hand.

Please use only UL approved electric Tart® burners with Tart® Wax Potpourri.
