Decorative and fragranced candles may be an attractive addition to your décor, but they can be a serious fire hazard. According to the National Fire Protection Association Journal article, “Candle Fires on the Rise”, fires caused by candles have more than doubled over the past decade.
In addition to being a fire hazard, improperly used candles can generate a significant amount of soot. This soot can damage the walls, floors and ceilings of your office or home as well as your personal belongings like computer and printer equipment, keyboards, counters, phones, and television monitors. And beware: ordinary cleaners have a hard time removing this soot.
Not only that, but candles in glass jars can explode if the glass gets too hot — leaving hot wax and broken glass on your floor, counter, or worse.
TMN strongly encourages you to find an alternative way to scent your offices.
Happy Spring!
