What safety guidelines should be followed when burning candles?Updated 5 months ago
- Never Leave Unattended: Always remain in the room while your candle is burning. Make sure the candle is completely extinguished and the wick ember is no longer glowing before you leave.
- Secure the Area; Keep candles away from anything that could catch fire, such as furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, and decorations. Ensure hair and loose clothing are kept away from the flame.
- Keep Away from Children and Pets: Ensure that burning candles are out of reach of children and pets. Place them in areas where they cannot be knocked over.
- Avoid Drafts and Vents: Keep candles away from drafts, vents, or air currents to prevent rapid or uneven burning and soothing.
- Do Not Touch or Move; Never touch or move a burning candle or one with liquefied wax.
- Maintain Safe Distance: Place burning candles at least three inches apart to prevent them from melting each other or creating drafts that can cause improper burning.
