Know before you buy
Trimming your wick to 1/4 inch prevents the flame from becoming too large, which reduces soot buildup and minimizes smoke. It also helps the candle burn more evenly and prevents the wick from 'mushrooming,' which can cause debris to fall into the wax.
The Wickman Original Wick Trimmer features a 7-inch length, making it well-suited for reaching into most standard jar candles. Its angled head is specifically designed to navigate deep containers where standard scissors might struggle.
Unlike standard scissors, this trimmer is designed with a debris tray that catches the trimmed wick piece. This prevents charred bits from falling into your candle wax, keeping the surface clean and free of impurities.
The matte silver finish is durable and designed for regular use. To keep it looking its best, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove any wax residue or soot.
Yes, it is best practice to trim the wick before every lighting. This ensures a consistent, clean burn and helps your candle last longer by preventing unnecessary wax consumption.
