Rainsford Company Candle Care Kit

Wick trimmers are specifically angled to reach deep into candle jars, allowing you to trim the wick to the ideal quarter-inch length without dropping debris into the wax. Regular scissors often struggle to reach the bottom of a container and can leave behind charred bits that affect the scent.

Using a dipper to push the wick into the wax pool extinguishes the flame instantly without creating smoke or releasing that lingering burnt-wick smell. It also coats the wick in wax, which makes it easier to relight the next time you use the candle.

A snuffer safely cuts off the oxygen supply to the flame, preventing hot wax from splattering or smoke from escaping. It is the cleanest way to put out a candle, especially those in deep vessels where blowing could be difficult or messy.

The tools are designed with standard candle dimensions in mind. The long handles on the scissors and dipper provide enough reach for most medium-to-large jar candles, though they may be less effective for very narrow or extremely deep specialty containers.

Simply wipe the tools with a soft, dry cloth after they have cooled down. Avoid using harsh chemicals or water, as a quick wipe is sufficient to remove any residual soot or wax buildup.
