Yankee Candle Kensington Silver Wick Trimmer

Timeless and transitional, with a crackled mercury patina and the distinct imperfections of hand-blown glass adding to an earthy vibe.

The proper tool makes every task easy. This is the essential one for maintaining your candle's wick properly. Our heavy-duty metal wick trimmer clips wicks to the perfect length to ensure a clean, even flame for a longer-lasting candle and maximum fragrance. Long enough to reach the bottom of our Original Large Jar Candles, the Perfect Wick Trimmer's design also easily lets you remove the clipped wick safely.

Remember, your candle's wick should be trimmed after every 4 hours of burn time. Let the candle come to room temperature, then trim the wick to the length specified on the candle bottom label before relighting. That length helps create an optimal burn, which means less soot is formed while the candle is burning. To use, place the bottom of the trimmer flush with the candle surface, rock the trimmer back so that its "elbow" rests on the surface, this keeps the trimmer at a 45-degree angle and helps ensure the cut is to the proper length. Simple! Enjoy your candles and their fragrances, then repeat again after every 4 hours of burn time.
