Candle wick trimmer

Keeping your wick trim is a key factor in how clean your candle burns and how long it lasts. Trim the burnt end of your wick before relighting. Use scissors, pinch it with your fingers, or use a wick trimmer. While not necessary, a wick trimmer does help when you have a taller jar, and it also catches the ashy tip that you just trimmed, keeping it out of your candle.
