 Keep wicks trimmed
to one half inch. Long or crooked wicks cause uneven burning and dripping.
Votive candles
will clean easily if you add 1/8" of water to the glass before inserting the
candle.
Keep votive wicks
centered and trimmed to 1/4" while burning to prevent breaking the glass.
If a wick becomes
too short to light, carve away enough wax to expose the fresh wick, then trim
1/4" off the top of the candle and burn the candle to reform its appearance
(tapers are the exception to this rule.)
Always store
candles in a cool, dark, dry place. They should be stored flat to prevent
warping.
Avoid putting
candles in drafts to prevent rapid and uneven burning and excessive dripping.
Clean solid candles
with a piece of nylon or use a touch of salad oil on a soft cloth.
Before a party,
light and extinguish the candles. They'll light more quickly and easily later.
To remove wax
from washable fabrics, scrape off excess wax and run boiling water through
the material. ' Remove wax from holders by running very hot water over them.
Candles refrigerated
before using will burn more slowly and evenly. Wrap in foil or plastic before
refrigeration to prevent wicks from absorbing moisture.
Candles will
fade if left in the light for an extended period of time. Never put candles
in a window or directly expose to bright outdoor light or indoor spotlights.
Candles should
always be burned in proper candleholders or bases.
Extinguish candles
when they get within 2 inches of their holders or decorations.( Votives are
the exception to this rule.)
When blowing
out a candle, hold your finger in front of the flame and blow at it. The air
will flow around the finger and extinguish the candle from both sides. This
will prevent hot wax from splattering.
Keep lighted
candles out of the reach of children and pets.
Avoid burning
candles near combustible materials.
Never leave a
burning candle unattended. suchmaschinenoptimierung preise . haardhout kopen
