Candle Safety Guidelines

At Lulubell Candle Co., your safety is our priority. Please follow these important guidelines to ensure you enjoy your candles safely.

Before Lighting

  • Trim the wick to 5mm before each use to ensure a clean, even burn
  • Remove any debris or wick trimmings from the wax pool
  • Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts
  • Keep candles away from flammable materials, curtains, and bedding

While Burning

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended
  • Keep candles away from children and pets
  • Burn candles in a well-ventilated room
  • Don't burn candles for more than 4 hours at a time
  • Keep the wax pool free of matches, wick trimmings, or other debris
  • Never move a burning candle - wait until it has completely cooled

Extinguishing Your Candle

  • Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame
  • Don't extinguish with water as this can cause hot wax to splatter
  • Ensure the wick is upright and centred after extinguishing
  • Allow the candle to cool completely before moving or relighting

General Safety Tips

  • Discontinue use when 10mm of wax remains at the bottom
  • Keep burning candles at least 10cm apart from each other
  • Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
  • If the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly, extinguish and allow to cool before relighting

Enjoy your Lulubell candles responsibly and safely!
