Blue Moon Candles is proud to use only the finest quality ingredients and materials in the manufacturing of our candles so that you will have the maximum enjoyment and pleasure as you burn them. It’s important, however, that you use candles responsibly to ensure their safe use. Please follow the guidelines below to keep Blue Moon Candles a bright and beautiful part of your life.
Burning Instructions...
1. Always use extreme care when burning
candles!
2. To avoid smoking when extinguishing your candle, bend the lit
wick into the already melted wax. This will extinguish your
flame with little to no smoking.
3. Our candles are HIGHLY scented. Please always keep your wicks
trimmed to 1/8-1/4 inch and remove all wick debris before
lighting each time.
4. Always trim your wick to 1/8 -1/4 inch before each lighting!
This will keep smoking and sooting to a minimum.
5. Keep you're wicked centered at all times.
6. Candle containers will become HOT, please handle with care
and place all burning candles on a heat resistant surface.
7. Keep all candles out of the reach of children and pets!
8. Never burn candles near anything that can catch fire. If your
candle comes with decorations i.e.. cinnamon sticks, raffia,
etc. Please remove before burning!
9. Always leave 1/4 inch of unburned candle at the bottom of
each container to keep from cracking containers and debris from
igniting.
10. NEVER leave a candle burning unattended!!
Burn candles 1 hour for each inch of it's diameter. This allows flame time to melt the wax to the outer edge. Burning less time will cause the candle to core burn down the middle & shorten burn time. Example: a 3" wide candle should be burned for at least 3 hours at a time.
Use toenail clippers to trim wicks in jars in which scissors wont fit.
Candles will have some fading if left in direct sunlight or spotlights for extended periods of time.
If a wick becomes to short to light, carve away enough wax to expose the fresh wick, then trim 1/4 inch off the top of the candle and burn the candle to reform it's appearance.
Crooked burning: If wick moves off center, use a butter knife to gently push it back to center. If there is a draft, rotating the candle can help.
If soot builds up on the inside of container candles-allow candle to cool and wax to harden and then wipe inside of container with a baby wipe or paper towel with Windex or lighter fluid. Allow container to dry completely before relighting.
To remove wax from washable fabrics: scrape off excess wax and then run boiling water through the fabric.
Smoking or Sooting~ A well-made candle should not soot or smoke when burning properly. However, noticeable smoking will occur whenever a candle’s flame is disturbed, which allows unburned carbon particles (soot) to escape. In fact, any candle can be made to smoke by causing the flame to flicker.
To minimize candle flickering, trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting, and place burning candles away from vents, drafts and other strong air currents. Consumers should know that the minuscule amount of soot produced by all candles is similar to that given off by toasters and cooking oils in the kitchen, and does not present a health concern.
About Lead Wicks~ Safety is a top priority at the National Candle Association, which is why no member of the NCA (which accounts for 90 percent of all candles made in the U.S.) uses lead wicks. NCA members voluntarily agreed more than 25 years ago not to use lead wicks, and in 2000 asked all U.S. candle manufacturers to sign a formal pledge not to use lead wicks. Some imported candles reportedly have been found to contain lead wicks. The NCA strongly supports the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s proposal to ban lead candlewicks from the U.S. marketplace. Here at Blue Moon Candles we have always used 100% Cotton wicks with safety in mind!
