Know before you buy
A wick trimmer is specifically angled to reach deep into candle jars where standard scissors cannot fit. It also features a built-in debris tray that catches the trimmed wick, preventing charred bits from falling into your wax and ruining the candle's appearance.
Yes, the Mala Wick Trimmer is designed to cleanly cut both cotton wicks and the thicker, flatter wood wicks found in many artisanal candles.
While it is optimized for larger 14 oz jars, it will function in smaller containers as long as the opening is wide enough to accommodate the 2.36-inch width of the trimmer head.
Trimming your wick to the recommended height prevents the flame from becoming too large, which reduces soot buildup and flickering. This practice ensures a cleaner, more controlled burn that ultimately extends the total life of your candle.
Because it is crafted from durable stainless steel with a matte black finish, you can simply wipe the blades with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any wax residue or soot.
