CANDLES & WREATH DISCLAIMER

Regarding our baptismal candles, Advent candles, Christmas candles, and Advent wreath;

Our duty of care discontinues after delivery & you become responsible for the safety & condition of candles and wreath left in your care. Ruined stock will not be replaced or refunded due to negligence or lack of care. Your duty is to ensure safety when in use & that the candles keep the consistent quality they were in when delivered. Candle and wreath care and safety instructions below.

General Candle Safety Rules

  • Keep burning candles within sight. Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep.

  • Keep out of the reach of children and pets.

  • Do not place lighted candles where they might be knocked over by children or pets.

  • Never burn on or near anything that can catch fire.

  • Do not allow wax to contact finished surfaces.

  • Trim wicks to 1⁄4 inch each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks cause uneven burning, dripping and sooting.

  • Never touch or move a burning candle or when the wax is liquid.

  • Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.

  • Use a snuffer to extinguish a candle. This is the safest way to prevent hot wax splatters.

  • Do not burn a candle longer than 4 hours.

  • Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans and air currents to prevent rapid, uneven burning, and avoid flame flare-ups and sooting.

  • Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room.

  • Make sure a candle is completely extinguished and the wick is no longer glowing before leaving the room.

  • Extinguish a candle if it flickers repeatedly, smokes, or the flame becomes too high.

  • If your candle isn’t burning properly, let it cool, trim the wick, check for drafts and then re-light.

  • Never use a candle as a nightlight.

  • Failure to follow candle safety rules could result in fire hazards, damage and serious injury, total destruction of property, and death.

  • Always carefully read and follow candle safety rules and safety instructions on the candle warning label.

Baptismal Candle Safety

  • Designed for one-time use only during the baptismal ceremony.

  • Do not burn candle down to the vinyl symbols.

Advent Wreath Safety and Instructions

  • Keep wreath on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials.

  • For a margin of safety, discontinue burning candles when one inch of wax remains above the brass drip-catch ring.

  • Some home care experts prefer removing wax by first placing the candle holder in the freezer for an hour or so. This allows the wax to shrink and easily pop out when the candle holder is removed from the freezer.

  • Never use a knife or a sharp object to remove wax drippings from candle holders.

It is your duty to ensure you have read all disclaimer information, care & safety instructions, terms & conditions information.
