Why should I trim my wick?Updated 15 days ago

Having too large a wick length for your candle will mean it will burn far too quickly, with too large a flame. For safety reasons, the wick should be kept at 0.5 cm. Make sure you do not leave wick debris in the wax when you trim.

Trimming also prevents your wick from curling back into the wax – a common problem with softer, cotton wicks and it prevents a large “knob” forming on your wick.

You can use scissors or nail clippers to trim your wick, however for best results and ease of use, we suggest purchasing a pair of wick trimmers which will last you many years.
