Safety Guidelines

Candle Use & Safety

Place candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable objects and beyond the reach of pets and little readers.
Always keep wick trimmed to ¼ inch - retrim after every burn. Don't skip this step! It is very important to maintain proper flame size to prevent excessive carbon buildup in your wick and soot residue on your pretty vessel.
Do not burn your candle for more than 3 hours at a time, even if that book is hard to put down.
Keep burning candle in sight and away from drafts and fluttering pages.
Use care when extinguishing: beware of blowing too forcefully, which can send hot wax or burning embers into the air. A candle snuffer is the best tool to safely extinguish your candle.
Discontinue use when remaining wax reaches ½ inch.
Reuse your frosted glass tumbler! Dispose of the last bit of wax at the bottom–just don't pour it down the drain! Use vinegar or rubbing alcohol along with a splash of hot water to loosen the adhesive on the wick tab, remove it, and wipe any residue left on the glass. Your recycled tumbler can serve as a pencil holder or vase (our labels are waterproof) that continues to remind you of one of your favorite stories.

Place your wax melts in a wax warmer or burner designed for melting wax. Do not add water to the warming dish.
Keep wax warmer on a steady surface away from ledges (like shallow bookshelves), other heat sources, children, and pets. Never leave unattended while in use.
Do not eat wax melts. Yes, they sometimes can be mistaken for edible treats! Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
You can continue to use your wax melt until the scent has faded. To replace wax or switch to another fragrance, you can warm the solid wax until it loosens from the dish and pop it out in one piece, or carefully pour liquid wax into trash and wipe clean with paper towels. Always allow the warming dish and melted wax to cool before handling.
