Candle & smoke safety
Sober notes for warm moments.
Candles
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Place on a heat-resistant surface, away from curtains, draughts, children and pets.
- First burn until the wax pool reaches the edge (2-3 hours).
- Trim the wick to about 5 mm, woodwicks to about 3 mm.
- Remove crystals and decorations before they reach the flame.
Smoke
- Always use a heat-proof dish; ventilate the room.
- Not near sleeping people, babies, pets or anyone with breathing difficulties.
- Put out completely before leaving the room. Sage and palo santo: press the tip into sand or the bowl.
- Burning paper (e.g. a written wish): only in a fireproof vessel, outdoors or by an open window, with water nearby.
