Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating and potential safety hazards. Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, and out of reach of children and pets. Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish your candle. Avoid using the candle lid or any other object to extinguish the flame, as this may cause wax splatter or damage to the wick. Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent melting and color fading. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets. Once your candle has burned down, repurpose or recycle the container according to local recycling guidelines.
