Tips On Candle Care

We here at Creola Scents Company we want you to have the best experience possible when enjoying our scented candles.  Please follow these tips below for the best performance of your candle.

BEFORE BURNING YOUR NEW CANDLE

• Only burn your candle on a sturdy, fire resistant, level surface within eyesight.
• Prior to burning your candle, trim your wicks to 1/4 inch before burning this will prevent uneven burning, dripping or flaring.
• Burn for 2-3 hours each time you light the candle.  This will help the candle burn evenly, and remember to trim wicks before each burn.  
• Never leave a burning candle unattended or lit while sleeping. If you are going to leave the room or go to bed, be sure to extinguish all candles first.  

 WHILE BURNING YOUR NEW CANDLE

• Never touch or move a burning candle. Never move a candle container when the wax is liquefied.
• Avoid burning your candle for more than four (4) hours at a time.
• Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle, if available, as it’s the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.
• Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do not place lit candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.
• Allow your candle to cool down for two (2) hours - Before lighting a candle again, allow the wax to cool down.  Only relight the wick again once the wax is visible solid again.  
• Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.
