Yankee Candle:Safety & Burning Tips

Safety & Burning Tips

When enjoying the wonderful fragrances of Yankee Candle, it is important to bear in mind the safety and best practise tips as highlighted below. We could write pages and pages of advice, but we've distilled it down to the most important points:

• Never leave candles unattended.
• Never touch or move a burning candle.
• Extinguish the flame carefully (candle snuffers are the safest way) before replacing the lid.
• All candles should be placed on a protected, heat-resistant surface away from anything flammable and out of the reach of children and pets.
• Keep your candles wick to the specified length on the instruction label as it causes the least amount of smoking, trim before relighting if needed.
• Allow the wax to liquefy and pool evenly across the top layer before extinguishing to avoid tunnelling of your candle.
• To ensure an even melt across the candle's surface, burn for at least 3 hours at a time. This prevents "tunnelling" - when the candle burns a hole down the middle and wax remains at the edges. If you tend to light candles for considerably shorter periods than 3 hours, 2 wick candles are a good solution, as they burn from edge to edge in half the time, meaning less potential wastage at the edges.
• Keep the wax pool clear of any wick trimmings, matches or other debris.
• Store candles in a cool, dry place to avoid colour fading, melting or cracking. Keep away from direct sunlight or fluorescent light, and any exposure to moisture may inhibit relighting.
• When your candle only has 1cm of wax left it is time to say goodbye and choose a new favourite candle to try, or if you love the fragrance replace it with the same again.
