Candle Care & Safety

Tips for Candle Care & Safety: 

• Keep your candle lit for at least two hours or until it has burned all the way to the edges - this will ensure a long and even burn time! Do not allow your candle to burn for more than four hours at a time. 

• Trim your wick to ¼ of an inch before each burn to avoid soot and uneven burning.

• Do not move your candle while it is lit or for at least an hour after blowing it out - the vessel will be hot! 

• Do not burn anywhere with less than 5 feet of clear space above the candle (on a shelf, under a cabinet, etc).

• Never leave a lit candle unsupervised, close to flammable items or substances, or within reach of children or pets. 

Burning instructions: 

Burn within 1 year of purchase. Do not light if cracked or chipped. Never leave a lit candle unattended. Keep lit candles out of reach of children and pets. Keep clear of drafts and things that catch fire (including but not limited to curtains, clothing, books, loose papers, fabric covered furniture). Do not burn on a shelf under another shelf, a surface under a cabinet, or any other location with less than 5 feet of space between the burning candle and the other surface. Keep away from substances that are flammable (including but not limited to aerosol products, flammable cleaning products, etc). Keep candles free of matches. Stop burning the candle when there is an inch of wax left. Container will be hot while the candle is burning. Do not touch or pick up while the candle is burning or still hot/melted from a prior burn. Queer Candle Co. is not responsible for any issues arising from misuse of this product.
