🕯️ Day 13 – Why Wick Trimming Matters
A candle’s glow is more than just a flame—it’s a balance of care, craftsmanship, and intention. One small step makes a big difference in how your candle burns: wick trimming.
✂️ Why Trim Your Wick?
Trimming your wick to ¼ inch before every burn helps your candle perform at its best.
✨ Cleaner Burn – Reduces excess soot and smoke
🔥 Even Melt Pool – Prevents tunneling and wasted wax
🕯️ Longer Candle Life – Slows the burn so you enjoy it longer
🌿 True Scent Throw – Keeps the fragrance balanced, not overpowering
🚫 What Happens If You Don’t Trim?
An untrimmed wick can cause:
-
Flickering or overly tall flames
-
Black soot on your jar
-
Faster wax consumption
-
A scent that smells “off” or too strong
🤍 A Little Ritual of Care
We love to think of wick trimming as a moment of pause—a small ritual before lighting your candle. Just a quick snip, a deep breath, and then let the warmth fill your space.
Every Ignite The Flame Candle Co. candle is hand-poured with love, but how you care for it helps keep the magic alive ✨
🕯️ Pro Tip: Always trim once the wax has cooled completely.
With warmth & love,
