INCENSE STICKS
Our incense not only creates a beautiful scent for the home, it can also be very calming for the mind.
How to use
You can choose to either hold one end of the stick incense, or place it on an incense burner to keep it steady and angled upwards
2. Light the other end of the stick incense with a match or lighter. Ensure that the incense is immersed in the flame until it ignites, and a small flame is visible
3. Allow the flame to burn for a few seconds, then gently fan or blow out the flame
4. Check the incense tip where the flame was. If you see a small glowing ember, and a small amount of smoke coming out of the tip, then the incense has been correctly lit.
5. If you were using your hand to hold the stick, you can now place it into the incense holder. Be sure that the tip of the incense is within the boundary of the incense burner, so that any ash can be collected on the burner
6. Relax and enjoy the burning incense stick
How to put out your incense stick
1. Remove the incense from holder using your hand
2. Press the lit tip of the stick incense against a heat-resistant surface with some force, until the piece with the ember breaks off. Do not use flammable surfaces such as wood, fabric, plastic, or paper/cardboard surfaces.)
3. Ensure the ember stays on the non-flammable surface, and wait until the ember has completely died out before touching it to clean up
or
1. Using a pair of metal scissors, cut the tip of the incense off, making sure that the piece includes the part with the ember
2. Ensure the ember lands on a non-flammable surface, and wait until the ember has completely died out before touching it to clean up
Safety
As with all things flammable, we do want to remind you that you should take care in using incense. There are a few things you should be aware of:
- Please ensure you put the incense on surface that is heat-resistant, and no flammable items like curtains or books are near where the ashes can drop.
- Please ensure that you do not leave the incense unattended
- Please place incense out of reach of children or pets
- Do not touch remnants of the stick incense right after it has finished burning. Also do not touch metal parts of the incense burner right after burning. Both of these may still be hot. Give them several minutes to cool down
