Candle Safety & Care Tips | Shivora Candles Canada

Follow these candle safety and care tips to enjoy your soy candles, wood wick candles, and wax melts safely at home.

• Always place candles on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

• Keep candles away from children, pets, curtains, tablecloths, paper, and other flammable items.

• Do not move or carry a candle while it is burning or while the wax is still hot.

• Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each burn to help prevent excess flame, smoke, and uneven burning.

• For the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the top to help prevent tunneling.

• Do not burn your candle for more than 3–4 hours at a time.

• Keep candles away from drafts, fans, open windows, and air vents, as moving air can cause uneven burning.

• Stop using the candle when about 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.

• Always allow the candle to cool completely before touching, moving, or relighting it.

Enjoy your Shivora Candles safely and responsibly.
