Using the Ferm Living Balance Tealight Holder is easy. Just place a tealight candle in the holder. You can hold the arch to move it around your room. When it comes to safety, always place it on a heat - resistant surface to avoid any fire hazards. Keep it away from flammable materials. For maintenance, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to keep its shine. If it's made of brass, you can use a brass cleaner to keep it looking new.
