At Brand and Grove, we believe in the cozy ambiance and delightful scent that candles bring to your home. However, it’s important to remember that candles are open flames and require careful handling to prevent accidents. Here’s a guide to ensure you enjoy your soy wax candles safely:

Choosing a Safe Location

• Stable surfaces: Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface that won’t tip over easily.
• Away from flammable materials: Keep candles away from curtains, drapes, bedding, paper, and other flammable materials.
• Out of reach: Place candles where children and pets can’t reach them.

Lighting and Extinguishing

• Use a long match or lighter: Avoid reaching over a lit candle.
• Extinguish completely: Blow out the flame completely and ensure it’s extinguished before leaving the room or going to sleep.

Burning Time and Maintenance

• Limited burn time: Don’t burn a candle for more than four hours at a time.
• Avoid drafts: Drafts can cause uneven burning and soot. Place candles in a draft-free area.
• Monitor for smoke or soot: If your candle produces excessive smoke or soot, extinguish it and trim the wick.

Additional Safety Tips

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children.
• Don’t burn a candle near a window or other heat source.
• Avoid burning candles in a small, enclosed space.

By following these simple guidelines, you can enjoy the warm glow and delightful scent of your soy wax candles without compromising your safety.
