Want to get the most out of your candles? Properly trimming your wick to 1/4" before each burn is key to extending the life of your candle, but it also ensures a cleaner burn. The built-in debris removal tray makes wick-trimming a breeze. Regardless of the size or shape of your candle, this trimmer can reach 7" into any jar or pillar candle, making it easy to trim the wick before lighting and between burns to help you achieve a longer-lasting, cleaner burn.
