Matte Black Wick Trimmer is a must for candle lovers. To ensure that your Palm Beach Collection candle performs, you must always trim the wicks before every burn. This encourages an even burn whilst helping to eliminate soot. To use, simply trim the head of the wick once the candle wax is cool to 5mm. Keeping candle wicks trimmed results in a cleaner, longer and safer candle burn. This encourages an even burn whilst helping to eliminate soot developing on the glass, smoking and excessive “mushrooming” of the wicks.
