Detailed Guide on Using Wick Trimmers

Wick trimmers are designed to cut the wick to the perfect length, ensuring a clean and even burn. This process helps to minimize soot and smoke, which can affect the quality of your home fragrance. By keeping the wick properly trimmed, you also prevent the formation of carbon buildup that can cause the candle to burn unevenly.

3. Regular Maintenance: For optimal performance, make sure to trim the wick after every 4 hours of burn time.
