Sweet Water Decor Wick Scissors

Wick scissors are specifically designed with an angled head and a debris tray to reach deep into candle jars. Regular scissors are often too bulky to fit inside narrow vessels and cannot catch the charred wick trimmings, which can fall into the wax and create a fire hazard.

You should trim your candle wicks to approximately 1/4 inch before every burn. This length prevents the flame from becoming too large, which reduces soot buildup and helps your candle burn more evenly.

The gold-tone finish is durable for regular use, but it is best to keep the scissors dry and store them in a cool, moisture-free environment to maintain their luster. If they do collect wax residue, you can gently wipe them clean with a soft, dry cloth.

At 6.75 inches long, these scissors are designed to reach into most standard candle containers. They are particularly effective for deep jars where a standard pair of scissors would be unable to reach the wick base.

The scissors are designed so that the flat, tray-like section catches the wick trimmings as you cut. Simply keep the scissors horizontal while trimming, then lift them out of the jar to discard the charred bits in the trash.
