Using your Simon Pearce Bristol Hurricane Glass Candleholder is easy. First, find a stable and heat - resistant surface to place the candleholder on. Since the pillar candle is not included, you'll need to buy one separately and put it inside the hurricane. For the best effect, choose a pillar candle that fits well in the holder. When lighting the candle, use a long - handled lighter or match to avoid burning your fingers. Always keep an eye on the burning candle and never leave it unattended. To clean the candleholder, wait until it's completely cool. Then, you can gently wash it with mild dish soap and warm water. Dry it with a soft cloth. Don't use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers as they can scratch the glass. Store the candleholder in a safe place when not in use to prevent it from getting damaged.
