Candle Safety: Essential Tips for Burning Loft81 Home Candles
While candles enhance the atmosphere, they also require mindfulness. Follow these simple safety tips to enjoy your Loft81 Home candle worry-free:
1. Never Leave a Candle Unattended
Always extinguish your candle before leaving the room or falling asleep. A Loft81 Home wick dipper helps safely put out the flame while preserving the wax.
2. Keep Candles Away from Flammable Objects
Ensure your candle is placed at least a foot away from curtains, blankets, books, and other flammable materials.
3. Use a Stable, Heat-Resistant Surface
Always place your candle on a sturdy, heat-safe surface to prevent tipping or heat damage. Our beautifully designed Loft81 Home vessels are made to complement your space while keeping safety in mind.
4. Trim the Wick Before Each Burn
Before lighting, trim the wick to ¼ inch. This prevents excessive flickering, soot buildup, and uneven burning, allowing you to fully enjoy the scent experience.
5. Burn in a Well-Ventilated Area
While candles should be used in an enclosed space for maximum scent throw, make sure there’s light airflow to prevent excessive smoke buildup.
6. Be Mindful of Burn Time
For an even melt pool, burn your Loft81 Home candle for at least 2 hours on the first use, but never longer than 4 hours in one session.
7. Properly Store Your Candles
When not in use, store your candle in a cool, dry place to preserve the fragrance.
