Anyone who loves scented candles knows: In order for a candle to burn steadily, to release its fragrance evenly and for the glass to remain undamaged, it needs not only high-quality materials – but also the right care.
The Black Candle Care Set was developed to optimize your candle-making rituals and provide a professional foundation for every type of burning. The elegant three-piece set, consisting of wick trimmer, candle snuffer, and wick lifter, is made of matte black stainless steel and combines aesthetics, durability, and precise functionality.
This set is the ideal tool for anyone who wants to not only light high-quality scented candles – especially those made from upcycled glass or ceramic cups – but also consciously care for them to maintain their maximum lifespan , clean flame formation and a consistent fragrance profile .
Included in the set: precise tools for professional care
-
Wick trimmer: The heart of candle care. Its curved shape cuts the wick precisely to the ideal length of 3–5 mm – even in deep candle holders. A correctly trimmed wick prevents flickering, excessive soot, and significantly extends the life of your candle.
-
Candle snuffer: Gently extinguishes the flame without smoke. Especially with scented candles in glass or ceramic containers, it prevents unpleasant smoldering smoke, sparks, and wax splatters that often occur when blowing out the candle. A candle snuffer also protects the delicate structure of the wick.
-
Wick dipper: One of the most underrated maintenance tools. It's used to straighten or center the warm wick after extinguishing it. This ensures a straight flame, better burning, and prevents the wick from burning in at an angle or falling into the wax.
Together, these three tools form a complete candle care set that will make your candles burn more calmly, cleanly and evenly – regardless of the container or type of wax.
Why the candle care set is essential
High-quality scented candles – especially natural and soy wax candles – are sensitive to wick length, drafts, and burning conditions. Without proper care, the following problems can occur:
-
Soot buildup due to an excessively long wick
-
Unsteady, flickering flame due to incorrect wick position
-
Wax tunnels (canyoning) when the surface does not melt completely
-
Overheating of the glass due to uneven flame
-
Reduced burning time due to lack of maintenance
With the candle care set, you can sustainably avoid these typical problems. A shortened wick, a clean extinguishing technique, and a central wick position ensure that your candle can burn up to 30% longer – more steadily, safely, and efficiently.
Tips & Tricks – Expert knowledge for candle lovers
To help you get the most out of your candle care set, here are some particularly valuable tips that even many experienced candle lovers don't know:
1. Always trim the wick before lighting.
The optimal length is 3–5 mm . A longer wick results in a larger flame, unnecessary heat, and faster wax consumption. For wooden wicks, 2–3 mm is acceptable.
2. Never blow it out – always extinguish it.
Blowing out a candle produces smoke, soot, and sparks. A candle snuffer prevents this and keeps the air clean. You can find more information about safely extinguishing candles in the Wikipedia article on candle safety: Wikipedia – Candle .
3. Adjust the wick after extinguishing.
A slightly tilted wick leads to uneven burning. Use the wick lifter to straighten it and ensure a proper burn for the next phase.
4. The first firing determines the lifespan
When lighting your candle for the first time, let it burn until the entire surface is melted. This prevents tunneling – one of the biggest mistakes with scented candles.
5. Keep the wax surface clean
Foreign objects such as matchstick remnants or wick pieces alter the flame height. They can easily be removed from the warm wax using the wick lifter.
6. Small glasses need special care.
The smaller the diameter, the faster the glass heats up. Wick snips help to trim precisely so the vessel doesn't overheat.
7. Check the wick regularly.
The small "mushroom shape" at the end of the wick must be removed – it is a major cause of soot.
