To get the most out of your candles, a little maintenance is required. Trimming the wicks properly ensures a better burn and extends the candle's lifespan. Specifically, the wick should be trimmed after every four hours of burn time. Allow the candle to cool, then trim the wick to approximately 3 millimeters (for WoodWick) or 6 millimeters (for Yankee Candle) before relighting it. This length ensures a clean, complete burn, resulting in less soot. This is where our 'Perfect Wick Trimmer' comes in handy: place the base of the trimmer flat against the candle's surface and tilt it back until the 'elbow' rests on the surface. This positions the trimmer at a 45-degree angle, guaranteeing the wick is cut to the correct length.
It’s that simple! Enjoy your candles and their fragrances, and repeat this process after every four hours of burn time.
