What You Need To Know About Candle Safety For Your Home Or Office Space.
When it comes to soy candle safety, there are several important considerations to keep in mind. Here are some general tips for using handmade soy candles safely:
Place candles on a stable surface: Ensure that the surface where you place the candles is flat, heat-resistant, and stable. This helps prevent accidental tipping and potential fire hazards.
Keep away from flammable materials: Make sure to keep your candles away from curtains, bedding, papers, and other flammable materials. Maintain a safe distance between the candles and anything that can catch fire.
Never leave candles unattended: It's crucial to never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish them before leaving the room or going to bed.
Keep out of reach of children and pets: Place candles in areas where children and pets cannot reach them. Curious hands or paws can accidentally knock over candles and cause accidents.
Trim the wick: Before lighting a soy candle, trim the wick to about ¼ inch. This helps prevent excessive smoke, uneven burning, and potential accidents.
Avoid drafts: Drafts can cause candles to burn unevenly or produce more smoke. Place candles away from open windows, fans, and air vents to ensure a steady and controlled burn.
Use appropriate candle holders: Make sure to use suitable candle holders or containers designed for candles. They should be heat-resistant, sturdy, and large enough to catch any dripping wax.
Extinguish properly: Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish a soy candle. Avoid blowing the flame forcefully, as it can cause hot wax to splatter.
Avoid over-burning: Don't burn candles for more than a few hours at a time. Extended burning can lead to excessive heat, potential container damage, or an increased risk of fire.
Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions: Each candle may have specific safety instructions provided by the manufacturer. Make sure to read and follow them for optimal safety.
