Always Making Scents - Déjà Vu Candles, Inc.

Déjà Vu Candles, Inc. are constructed to burn evenly, preventing the thick layer of wax that forms around the outside of the jar like other candles. For maximum usage, allow wax to melt all the way across each time a candle is lit. The longer it burns, the better it will burn but do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Please keep wicks trimmed to 1/4" , this is the most important part of burning a candle in order to prevent the candle from smoking or having a large flame. Trimming the wicks is a must...
Handle with care, as the container is fragile. Do not use if jar is cracked, chipped or scratched.
Place on protected, heat resistant, dry surface, well away from anything flammable, and out of reach of children and pets.
Sides and bottom of container may become hot while candle is burning. Handle carefully.
Discontinue use when 1/4" of wax remains. This will prevent possible heat damage to the counter surface or the container itself.
Extinguish candle before replacing lid.
Store in a cool, dry place. Exposure to moisture might inhibit relighting. Color, fragrance and specific usage affect wax consumption.

Never leave a burning candle unattended! This is the #2 cause of candle accidents/fires.

Did you know?

If your flame is huge & you can see black smoke, it needs to be trimmed.

Trim your wicks before you light, every single time. Candles themselves produce very little soot if burned correctly. The soot, and dangerous smoke from candles comes after they are blown out.

The best way to extinguish a candle is to use a special candle snuffer or candle quencher. Simply dipping the wick into the wax allows smoke-less extinguishing. Your lungs will thank you for it. It also prevents wax splatters on furniture.

Crooked burning: If wick moves off center, use a butter knife (or a Wick Dipper*) to gently push it back to center.

If soot builds up inside container, that means you aren't watching/trimming your candles properly. (TRIM THOSE WICKS)

Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep.

Unsuitable Burning Surfaces

Televisions
Plastic
Paper

Keep burning candles away from anything flammable, such as furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, flammable decorations, etc.

Avoid putting candles in drafts to prevent rapid, uneven burning. Drafts can also blow lightweight curtains or papers into the flame where they could catch fire. Summer fans can cause drafts.

Clean and trim candle wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting. Long or crooked wicks cause uneven burning. All candles, especially highly scented ones, will produce some smoke and soot, but proper burning (keeping wick trimmed and avoiding drafts, etc.) will help eliminate this problem.

Keep candles free of wick trimmings, matches or any flammable material that might ignite.
Please do not to put out candles with pieces of folded paper.
Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do not place lighted candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.

Discontinue use of a container candle when 1/2-inch of unmelted wax remains. This will prevent possible heat damage to the counter/surface and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking.

Do not extinguish candles with water. The water can cause the hot wax to spatter and some candle containers to break.

Flashlights and other battery-powered lights are much safer light sources than candles during a power failure.

Don't use a candle as light when you go into a closet to look for things.

Never use a candle for light when fueling equipment such as a lantern or kerosene heater.

Did you know that a candle has a memory?

When burning a candle for the first time, it's suggested that you burn it one hour for each inch in diameter. This will allow the pool of wax to extend to the outside edges and will prevent your candle from forming a "canyon" in the center. Burning a candle this way will also set it's memory. Each time you burn the candle it will "remember" to burn to it's edge.
