HOW CAN I BE CAREFUL WITH CANDLES?

At Tripps of Somerset, we want you to enjoy your candles or wax melts in the safest manner. We understand that having candles and wax melts burning to make you feel good is an important part of many people's self-care.

Tracey, the Owner of Tripps of Somerset worked for many years in a Emergency Business which dealt with fires, some which were caused by candles.

We want you to be kept safe at all times.

Never leave a candle burning.

You MUST always trim your wick before use. This will give you a longer and cleaner burn also.

A wick that isn't trimmed will give a different type of flame.

Never leave your candle in a drafty area.

Always keep your candle/wax melt/diffusers away from children and pets.

Never place your candles on a non-heat-resistant surface.

Never place your candles on an uneven surface.

Never place your candles near curtains, blinds, or under a shelf.

We have included a link to the fire service advice.

If you think that it may be dangerous then STOP! Do not take any risks.
