Know before you buy
Trimming your wick to 1/8 inch before each burn prevents the flame from becoming too large, which reduces soot buildup and helps your candle burn more evenly. It also prevents the wick from 'mushrooming,' ensuring a cleaner and longer-lasting candle.
Standard scissors are often too bulky to reach deep into a candle jar, making it difficult to get a clean cut. The YIELD trimmer features a specialized angled head designed to reach the base of the wick and a debris tray that catches the trimmed wick so it doesn't fall into your wax.
Yes, the 7-inch length and slim profile are designed to reach into most standard candle vessels. The angled head allows for easy access even as the wax level drops toward the bottom of the jar.
Because it is made of durable stainless steel, you can simply wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth or a paper towel after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals to maintain the finish of the metal.
No, the trimmer is designed with a built-in debris tray that catches the trimmed wick piece as you cut. This keeps your wax pool clean and free of charred remnants that could otherwise affect the scent or burn quality.
