Glasshouse Wick Trimmer

Standard scissors often struggle to reach the bottom of deep candle jars, and they can leave debris in the wax. This trimmer is specifically angled to reach into jars easily and features a debris tray that catches the trimmed wick, keeping your candle clean.

You should trim your wick to approximately 6mm (or 1/4 inch) before every burn. This length is the sweet spot for maintaining a steady, controlled flame without excessive flickering or soot.

The gold plating is durable and designed for regular use, but like any plated metal, it can show wear if exposed to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. To keep it looking its best, simply wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth after use.

Yes, the slim, angled design is engineered to fit into most standard candle vessels, including deep jars where regular scissors or nail clippers cannot reach.

Trimming prevents the wick from becoming too long, which causes the flame to become unstable and produce excess smoke. By keeping the wick short, you ensure a cleaner, more efficient burn that prevents soot buildup on your glass jar.
