Candle Safety Tips
Thank you for choosing Vandal Candle Co. Every candle is made with quality materials and tested for a clean, consistent burn. To ensure a safe experience, please review the guidelines below before lighting your candle.
Before Lighting
-
Always trim the wick to ¼ inch before lighting. This prevents soot and helps maintain an even flame.
-
Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from anything that can catch fire.
-
Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
While Burning
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish before leaving the room or going to sleep.
-
Avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool before relighting.
-
Keep away from drafts, vents, or air currents. This helps prevent uneven burning or smoking.
-
Do not move a candle while it’s burning or the wax is liquid.
After Use
-
Stop burning when ½ inch of wax remains. Continuing to burn may cause the container to overheat or crack.
-
Allow wax to fully cool before handling or relighting.
-
Reuse or recycle your jar or tin after cleaning out remaining wax.
Additional Tips
-
Let the wax melt across the entire surface during the first burn to prevent tunneling.
-
Avoid using candles in drafty areas or near fans.
-
Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their fragrance and appearance.
