Why Trimming Matters for Wood Wick Candles

Trimming the wick of your wood wick candles ensures:

A clean and even burn without tunneling.
Reduced soot and smoke for a healthier burn.
Enhanced fragrance throw, so your space fills with the delightful scent of your candle.

How to Trim a Wood Wick Candle

Follow these steps to keep your wooden wick scented candles in top shape:

Wait for the Candle to Cool:Always trim the wick when the candle is completely cool. This prevents wax splatters and ensures safety.
Trim to the Right Height:Use wick trimmers or a small pair of scissors to cut the wick to about 1/8 inch (3-4 mm). A wick that’s too long can cause a high flame, uneven burn, and excess soot.
Remove Charred Edges:After trimming, gently remove any blackened or charred pieces of the wick. This prevents debris from falling into the wax and ensures a smooth burn.
Light It Properly:Tilt the candle slightly and light the edge of the wooden wick for the best ignition.

When to Trim Your Wooden Wick

Before Every Burn: A quick trim before each lighting ensures the flame remains controlled.
If the Flame Flickers or Is Too High: An overly long wick can create an unstable flame, which may cause uneven burning or excessive soot.

Benefits of Proper Wick Trimming

Taking care of your scented candle with a wooden wick not only prolongs its life but also improves your experience. Trimming ensures a beautiful, even flame and allows the fragrance to fully develop, filling your home with warmth and elegance.
