Caring for and Storing Your Candles & Candle Holders

Caring for and Storing Your Candles and Holders

• Remove batteries from flameless LED candles before storing to avoid battery leakage over winter.
• Wipe glass candle holders clean of wax residue by soaking in warm water and mild dish detergent.
• Store wax candles in cool, dry places flat on their sides to prevent warping in hot summer storage sheds.
• Wrap metal candelabras in tissue paper to protect polished surfaces from tarnishing or scratching.

Tips & Guides

Frequently Asked Questions — Candles & Candle Holders

Are flameless LED candles realistic in appearance?

Yes, modern LED flameless candles feature moving flame elements and real wax outer shells that replicate authentic flickering candlelight.

How long do batteries last in LED candles?

On average, a set of quality AA or AAA batteries provides between 150 to 300 hours of continuous LED candle illumination.

Can I burn scented candles around food on the dining table?

Strongly scented candles can overwhelm food aromas; we recommend unscented candles or subtle vanilla for dining tables, reserving heavy spiced scents for living rooms.

How do I remove melted wax from a candle holder?

Soak the holder in warm water or place it in the freezer briefly until the wax hardens and pops off easily without scratching.

What are the safest candles for homes with pets?

Flameless battery-operated LED candles are by far the safest option as they eliminate fire risks, smoke, and hot wax spills.

Do your candles have built-in timers?

Many of our flameless LED candles include automatic 4-hour or 6-hour daily timers that turn on at the same time each evening.

What wax is used in your scented candle jars?

Our scented candle jars use high-quality soy wax blends that burn cleanly and evenly without producing dark soot.

How do I store wax candles so they don't melt in summer?

Store wax candles in an indoor cupboard or climate-controlled space out of direct sunlight and away from hot roof attics.
