Candle Safety

We at Candle Villa want you to enjoy our candles (and other candles for that matter), but would like you to observe the following safety tips:

Always burn candles within sight.
Keep all candles out of reach of children, and keep away from pets.
Never burn candle on, under or near anything that could catch fire or that is heat sensitive.
Keep wicks properly centered and trimmed.
Trim your candle wicks to no more that 1/4 inch at all times to prevent excessive flames or smoke.
Never let wick trimmings fall into wax.
For best performance, burn until wax melts evenly across container not to exceed 4 hours.
Discontinue use when only 1/2 inch of wax remains.
Never move a hot candle, wait until it cools.
Never burn a candle unattended or near a draft.
Never fall asleep while a candle is burning.
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.
Place burning candles at least three inches apart from one another. This is to make sure they don't melt one another, or create their own drafts that will cause the candles to burn improperly.
Never extinguish candles with water. The water can cause the hot wax to splatter and might cause a glass container to break.
Never use a candle as a night light.

Failure to follow these candle burning instructions could result in fire hazard or injury. Please enjoy, and BE SAFE! Please see the entire list of Candle Safety Tips from the National Candle Association.
