Here are some important safety tips for using candles and wax melts:

Candle Safety Tips:

1. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always extinguish candles when you leave the room or go to sleep.
2. Keep candles away from flammable objects. Ensure candles are placed far from curtains, furniture, papers, and other items that could catch fire.
3. Use proper candle holders. Choose holders that are stable and can catch dripping wax.
4. Trim the wick. Keep the candle wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch to prevent high flames and excessive smoking.
5. Place candles on stable surfaces. Always set candles on heat-resistant, sturdy surfaces to prevent them from tipping over.
6. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets. Ensure they can’t knock them over or accidentally get burned.
7. Extinguish candles safely. Use a snuffer or gently blow out the candle without splattering hot wax.
8. Don’t burn candles near drafts. Avoid placing them near fans, windows, or vents, as drafts can cause uneven burning or even tip the candle over.
9. Don’t burn a candle all the way down. Extinguish it when it’s within two inches of the holder to avoid overheating.
10. Keep matches and lighters out of reach. Store them in a safe place, away from children and pets.

Wax Melt Safety Tips:

1. Use a proper wax melt warmer. Ensure your wax melt warmer is designed for wax melts and not for food or other uses.
2. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Use the right amount of wax and follow the recommendations for your specific warmer.
3. Don’t overfill the warmer. Too much wax can spill over and cause a mess or fire hazard.
4. Place the warmer on a flat, stable surface. This helps prevent tipping or spilling.
5. Keep away from water. Avoid placing the warmer near sinks or other sources of water to prevent electrical accidents.
6. Unplug or turn off the warmer when not in use. This reduces the risk of overheating or fire.
7. Don’t move the warmer when the wax is melted. Hot wax can spill and cause burns.
8. Avoid touching the hot surface or melted wax. It can cause severe burns if touched.
9. Keep the warmer out of reach of children and pets. Ensure it’s in a safe spot where they can’t knock it over or touch it.

By following these safety tips, you can enjoy your candles and wax melts while minimizing the risk of accidents.
