Know before you buy
Trimming your wick to about a quarter-inch before each burn prevents the flame from becoming too large, which reduces soot and smoking. It also helps the candle burn more evenly and extends its overall lifespan.
Standard scissors can be difficult to maneuver inside deep candle jars, often leaving debris in the wax. This trimmer is specifically angled to reach deep into the vessel and features a built-in tray to catch the trimmed wick, keeping your wax clean.
Always trim your wick when the candle is cool and the wax has fully solidified. Trimming before you light the candle ensures a clean, controlled burn from the start.
The trimmer is designed with a versatile, minimalist shape that works well with most standard candle vessels. However, it is best suited for jars with an opening wide enough to accommodate the trimmer's head.
Simply wipe the blades with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any wax residue or soot. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging it in water to maintain the finish.
