Know before you buy
Trimming the wick to about 1/4 inch before each burn prevents the flame from becoming too large or unstable. This reduces soot buildup on the glass and ensures the candle burns evenly without tunneling.
The angled head and extended reach of this trimmer allow you to easily access the base of the wick inside deep candle jars. Unlike scissors, it is designed to catch the trimmed debris, preventing charred bits from falling into the wax pool.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is durable enough to handle wicks in soy, paraffin, beeswax, and coconut wax blends. It works effectively on both cotton and wood wicks.
Simply wipe the blades with a dry cloth or a paper towel to remove any residual soot or wax. Because it is made of stainless steel, it is resistant to rust and easy to maintain.
For the cleanest burn, you should aim to trim your wick to approximately 1/4 inch before every lighting. This length provides the perfect balance for a steady flame and minimal smoke.
