Candle Safety & Care

At Pink Petals & Co., we pride ourselves on our chandler’s extensive knowledge of candles and bring to you the finest quality ingredients. In order to experience the ultimate pleasure and enjoyment from our candles, it is very important that you burn your candles responsibly. Please follow these guidelines to ensure safety.

• Remove all packaging before lighting.

• Place on a protected, heat-resistant, dry surface, away from anything that can catch fire, and out of reach of children and pets. Use holders designed for the particular candle style.

• Keep wick(s) trimmed to 1/8 of an inch at all times.

•  If smoking occurs, blow candle out. Trim wick(s), remove trimmings, and relight. 

• Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, or any combustible material.

• Keep the wick centered.

• Avoid burning candles in drafts.

• Never leave burning candles unattended. Keep them within sight at all times.

• Keep all matches and lighters out of the reach of children.

• Teach everyone in the family the rules of safe candle use.

Classic Jar Candles

• Please handle glass containers with care. Avoid glass-to-glass contact when removing or replacing the lid. Do not use if the jar is cracked, chipped, or scratched. Do not refill with wax.

•  Do not allow the flame to touch the side of the jar. The jar may become hot. Handle carefully.

• If smoking occurs, check for drafts or high traffic areas, which may cause flame to flicker and smoke. Also, be sure that the wick is no longer than 1/8". If it is, extinguish, trim to 1/8", and relight.

•   To minimize wax left on the sides of the jar, burn your candle for 3 hours at a time. It is normal for a small amount of wax to be left. The amount may vary by color, fragrance, and burning conditions.

•   Prevent possible heat damage to the counter/surface by discontinuing use when 1/2" of wax remains at the bottom of the jar. Only burn in a suitable holder, or on a plate or other other fire- and heat-resistant.
