One of the keys to getting the best results from your candle is keeping the wick trimmed to 1/4" before lighting. This ensures that the flame does not burn hotter than intended and allows for the best fragrance release. 
 
These wick trimmers are the perfect tool for the job. The angled design allows for it to reach deep into containers. Made out of stainless steel and then powder coated in either matte black, silver, gold, or rose gold, it makes for an elegant home accessory or gift that will fit  with almost any decor.
 
Before lighting your candle, simply open the trimmer, set the head slightly above or just touching the top of the wax. Close the trimmer to cut off the exposed end of the wick. The head is designed to catch the majority of trimmings. Remove the trimmer and you can toss the trimming into the trash and just wipe the head with a paper towel to clean if needed. The thickness of the head is designed to leave 1/4" of wick remaining. You can now light your candle and enjoy.
