Candle Care 101

Before Lighting: Before you light your TLC candle, please trim the wick at least 1/4 inch. This will prevent unsteady burning or flaring. Keep the wax away from debris, wick trimmings, dirt or any other flammable item at all times. Stand the TLC jar on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Helps prevent glass from breaking or cracking and heat damage to table surfaces. Please avoid vents, or air currents. It will prevent uneven burning, sooting or excessive dripping. Burn candle for 2-4 hours each time you light it. This helps the candle burn evenly and don't forget to trim the wicks before each use. In The Time of Burning: Always be sure to keep children and pets away. The candle can be knocked over by pets, children or anyone else. Please burn the candle within visible sight and away from flammable objects such as books, paper, carpets, bedding, flammable home decoration and/or decor, furniture. Never leave a candle unattended or lit while sleeping. If you are leaving the room, please extinguish candle first. Never touch or move a burning candle nor move a candle when the wax is hot and liquified If burning more than one candle at a time, please each at least three inches apart from one another or create their own areas. Extinguish a candle in the case of the flame gets too high or flickers frequently. Ahead of relighting, leave candle to cool, check for air drafts and trim wick. During Extinguishing: If available, use an candle snuffer (available under "TLC Candles") to extinguish the candle. the safest way to prevent hot wax from spilling or splattering. Please do NOT use water to extinguish a candle, this can cause splatter and can break the glass. Prior to leaving the room, the candle must be completely out and now light glow coming from the wick ember Lastly, do not move or touch the candle until it has completely cooled.
