Why Trim Your Wick?

Trimming the wick to 5–7mm before every burn is the single most important thing you can do to extend candle life and reduce smoke. An untrimmed wick produces a larger, flickering flame that consumes wax too quickly, generates soot, and can cause the glass to overheat. A properly trimmed wick burns steadily, cleanly, and significantly extends the total burn time of your candle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How short should I trim the wick?
Trim to 5–7mm (about ¼ inch) above the wax surface before every burn, including the first. If the flame is very large or flickering after lighting, extinguish, allow to cool, and trim shorter before relighting.

What does the round head do?
The round disc at the tip of the trimmer is designed to catch the trimmed piece of wick so it doesn’t fall into the melted wax pool. Wick debris in the wax can cause uneven burning and excess smoke on the next burn.

Can I use this for wooden wicks?
Yes — the stainless steel blades are strong enough to trim wooden wicks cleanly. Wooden wicks can char and flake at the tip after burning; always trim away the charred section before relighting.

Does the angled neck make a difference?
Yes — the angled neck allows you to reach the wick at the bottom of deep jar candles without your hand touching the sides of the glass or disturbing the wax surface. Standard scissors can’t reach the bottom of a tall narrow candle jar cleanly.

Which finish should I choose?
Rose gold has a warm, polished metallic finish — a classic choice that pairs well with most candle aesthetics. Multicolor has an iridescent rainbow finish that shifts in the light — a bolder, more decorative option. Both are the same trimmer in terms of function.
