Candle safety

Candles, incense or Bukhoor can help create a nice atmosphere and discard bad smells in your home but they can be a fire hazard.

Candle safety tips

Never leave, candles, incense or Bukhoor unattended.
Always use a holder or a burner
Burners and holders should always be put on a flat, non-flammable surface and away from windows.
Keep candles, incense or Bukhoor out of reach of children.
As with cooking keep you clothing out of the way of the flames.
When you have finished with an incense stick douse the tip in water and break it off. The remainder can then be relit later.
