They are made from durable materials such as stainless steel or brass, so they easily withstand the proximity of fire and hot wax.

Candle Accessories
Candle accessories are small tools with a big impact. The way you light, trim and extinguish a candle directly affects how long and how nicely it burns. A few seconds of care before each lighting can extend a candle's life by tens of percent, prevent the glass from blackening and keep the scent clean, without a burnt smell. Metal helpers also allow you to work safely in the immediate vicinity of an open flame and hot wax.
Why it pays to care for the wick and flame
A wick that is too long burns with a high, unstable flame that smokes and deposits soot on the walls of the container, while one that is too short can drown in the wax. The ideal wick length before lighting is roughly 5 to 6 millimetres — that is when the flame is calm and the wax burns evenly. This is exactly what the wick trimmer (wick scissors) is for: its curved shape and longer arm comfortably reach even the bottom of a deep glass container, and they catch the trimmed piece so it does not fall into the wax. Regular trimming is the most effective way to prevent both sooting and so-called tunnelling, where the candle burns only in the centre and untouched wax remains around the edges.
How to choose candle accessories
The material is the foundation. Quality tools are made of stainless steel or brass — they withstand heat, do not rust and endure repeated contact with hot wax. The surface finish, whether polished metal, matte black or gold, is a matter of taste and interior. The second key tool is the candle snuffer — a small bell on a thin handle that covers the flame and cuts off its air supply. The candle thus goes out calmly, without blowing, which would spray hot wax and spread smoke around the room. It is especially appreciated by anyone with candles deep in a container or in taller candle holders, where the flame would otherwise be hard to reach. A gentler alternative is the wick dipper: you simply dip the wick into the melted wax and lift it out straight away, the flame goes out without smoke and the wick stays coated in wax, ready for the next easy lighting. If you enjoy candles regularly, it is worth reaching for a set that combines several tools in one package — it also makes a popular gift for anyone who loves scented candles and a cosy atmosphere.
What to watch out for when using them
Always use the tools mindful that you are working close to fire and hot wax. Trim the wick on a cooled candle before lighting, never during burning, and remove the trimmed piece from the wax so it does not impair the burn. After extinguishing, hold the snuffer over the wick for a moment so the flame goes out completely, and only then lift the bell. Once cooled, wipe the metal parts with a dry cloth — this removes soot and wax residue, and the tool will last you for years. Such a short routine will keep your candles more beautiful, safer and with a cleaner scent every time you light them.

Safety warning in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
Candle accessories (wick trimmers, snuffers and metal tools) are used near open flame and hot wax. Improper use may result in burns, cuts or fire. Follow these instructions:
- Wick trimmers and metal tools have sharp edges and tips – keep them out of the reach of children and pets and use them only for their intended purpose.
- Trim the wick when the candle is extinguished or just before lighting to approximately 5–7 mm; an overly long wick causes a high flame, sooting and wax spattering.
- Metal parts heat up quickly on contact with the flame and hot wax – handle them only by the handle and let them cool down completely before putting them away.
- Extinguish the candle with the snuffer – gently cover the flame until it goes out completely and do not blow on it, to prevent wax spattering and flying sparks.
- Do not expose hot wax or heated parts to contact with the skin; in case of a burn, immediately cool the affected area with cold water.
- Never leave a burning candle or work with the tools unattended; work on a stable, non-flammable surface away from curtains, paper and other flammable materials.
- After use, clean the tools of wax residue, store them in a dry place out of the reach of children and do not treat the product as a toy.
If the tool is damaged (loose or blunt blade, broken or deformed part), do not use the product any further.
