-Use the wick trimmers to trim your wick before each lighting to promote an even, consistent burn each time.
 
-Place the trimmer's long handle against the inside of the jar's rim for guidance and bring the curved scissor blades to the wick, about 1/4" from the base and parallel with the wax.
 
-Trim your wick and discard the snipped portion in the trash.
 
-As a safety precaution, never leave wick trimmings (matches or other debris, for that matter) in your candle jar
