Know before you buy
A wick trimmer is specifically angled to reach deep into candle jars, allowing you to cut the wick at the precise height needed for a clean burn. Unlike scissors, the trimmer also catches the debris, preventing charred bits from falling into your wax.
For optimal performance, you should trim your wick to approximately 1/4 inch before every lighting. This prevents the flame from becoming too large, which reduces soot and helps your candle burn more evenly.
Yes, while it is designed to complement Illume collections, the trimmer is a universal tool that works with most standard jar candles. Its 7.25-inch length provides enough reach for the majority of common candle vessels.
The gold finish is durable and designed for regular use. Simply wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove any wax residue or soot buildup.
No, this is a wick trimmer, not a snuffer. While it features a bell-shaped head, it is intended for cutting wicks; we recommend using a dedicated candle snuffer or a wick dipper to extinguish your flame safely.
