Hostess & Home Wick Trimmers

Standard scissors often struggle to reach the bottom of deep candle jars, which can lead to uneven trimming or debris falling into the wax. These trimmers are specifically angled to reach deep into containers and feature a built-in tray that catches the wick debris, keeping your candle wax clean and free of charred bits.

Yes, the design is engineered to rest against the surface of the wax, ensuring you clip the wick to the ideal 1/4 inch length every time. This consistent length helps prevent soot buildup and ensures a cleaner, more controlled burn.

The trimmers are crafted from durable steel with a polished finish designed for regular use. While they are robust, we recommend wiping them down with a soft, dry cloth after use to maintain the luster of the champagne gold finish.

At 7 inches in length, these trimmers are designed to comfortably reach the wicks in most standard and deep candle vessels. The extended handle provides excellent leverage and reach, making them suitable for most multi-wick configurations.

You should trim your wick before every single burn. Keeping the wick at 1/4 inch prevents the flame from becoming too large or flickering excessively, which ultimately extends the life of your candle and protects the vessel from soot marks.
