A thick-walled glass, metal bowl or ceramic container is a good choice. These materials dissipate heat and help prevent overheating.

Place the container on a level, non-flammable surface, away from textiles, curtains and wooden surfaces.

3. Never leave it burning unattended

Never leave burning candle sand unattended, even briefly. Take particular care around children and pets.

5. Position the wick correctly

Use only wicks suitable for candle sand. Position the wick upright in the centre, making sure it is secure and extends about one centimetre above the surface.

6. Extinguish safely

Extinguish the flame by blowing gently or using a candle snuffer. Never use water, as this can cause dangerous splashes.

7. Refill carefully

Always let the sand cool completely before refilling. Remove used wick remnants before adding fresh candle sand or inserting a new wick .

Cleaning and care

When you want to refill your container , remove excess wax with a kitchen towel. The candle sand itself is easy to replace, for example when you want to try a new scent.

Extra tip: creative decorating ideas

Candle sand is decorative as well as safe. From shells in summer and fir branches at Christmas to lavender flowers in spring, there are many creative possibilities. Always place decorative materials outside the container and well away from the flame.
