To ensure the best experience and safety when using soy wax candles, please follow these care and instructions. Place the candle on a heat-resistant and stable surface, away from flammable materials. Trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch before lighting each time to promote a clean and even burn. Always burn the candle within sight and away from drafts, children, and pets. Avoid burning the candle for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating. Extinguish the flame by using a candle snuffer or gently blowing it out, and let the candle cool completely before moving or relighting. Enjoy the warm and comforting glow of your soy wax pillar candle, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in your home.
