Using these candles is a breeze. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. Light the wick and enjoy the warm glow for 5 - 7 hours. For safety, always keep the candles away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place to prevent the wax from melting or deforming. If you notice any debris on the candles, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
