At High Candles, we believe in creating calming, aromatic experiences — and that includes making sure every burn is a safe one. Candles bring warmth and tranquility, but like any open flame, they must be used responsibly.

Always burn your candle on a heat-resistant, stable surface, away from anything flammable, and never leave it unattended. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use to prevent excess flame or smoke, and keep candles out of reach of children and pets. Avoid placing them near drafts, vents, or ceiling fans, as moving air can cause uneven burning or dripping.

Limit each burn to a maximum of 4 hours and stop use when 1/2 inch of wax remains. To extinguish, use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame — never use water, as it can cause hot wax to splatter. Always ensure the wick has stopped glowing before leaving the room.

Whether you're setting a mood or winding down your day, enjoy your candle with care. Fire safety isn’t just smart — it’s part of the ritual.
