Candle Safety Guidelines

Safe candles = happy vibes. Follow these simple rules every time you light your Blue Fawn candle.

Placement & Setup

• Burn on a flat, heat-safe surface away from edges.
• Keep away from drafts, curtains, and vents.
• Never near flammable items; clear a 12″ radius.
• Out of reach of kids and pets.

Lighting & Burn Time

• Trim wick to ¼″ before every light.
• First burn: allow a full melt pool edge-to-edge.
• Do not burn more than 4 hours at a time.
• Stop use when ~½″ of wax remains.

While Burning

• Stay within sight—never leave a candle unattended.
• If flame smokes or flickers, extinguish, trim, and relight.
• Keep the wax free of matches/wick trimmings.

Extinguishing

• Use a snuffer or gently blow out—no splashing wax.
• Let wax cool and solidify before moving the candle.

Common Questions

Why is my candle tunneling? Likely a short first burn or drafts. See Candle Tunneling Fixes.
Is soot normal? A little can happen—trim to ¼″ and avoid drafts for a cleaner burn.
Can I reuse the jar? Yes! Once fully cooled and empty, clean remaining wax and repurpose.
