Candle Care

At Copper Flame Candle, your safety is our top priority. To ensure you enjoy our candles safely, please follow these essential guidelines. Proper candle care not only enhances your experience but also helps prevent accidents.

Let's burn bright and burn safe!

Keep candles burning in sight

​

Always keep a burning candle within sight. Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. Be sure the wick ember is no longer glowing

Trim your wicks!

​

Trim candlewicks to ¼ inch each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning and dripping.

Keep away from drafts

​

Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans and air currents. This will help prevent rapid, uneven burning, and avoid flame flare-ups and sooting. Drafts can also blow nearby lightweight items into the flame where they could catch fire.

Use heat resistant candle holders

​

Always use a candleholder specifically designed for candle use. The holder should be heat resistant, sturdy, and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax.

Keep wax pool clean

​

Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.

Properly extinguish

​

Never extinguish candles with water. The water can cause the hot wax to splatter and might cause a glass container to break.
