Candle Safety

Treat lighted candles as you would any other flame, with great care!

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended
  • Always place candles upright in suitable holders, which cannot fall over easily
  • Always place candles well away from curtains and furniture and always out of draughts
  • Always make sure that candles are properly extinguished, especially before going to bed
  • Keep candles away from children and pets
  • Keep candles away from clothes and hair
  • Candles and tea lights can melt plastic surfaces like the tops of televisions and bath tubs. Make sure you always place them on a heat resistant surface.
