Candle Jar
What do you do with your candle jar when your candle is all gone? Instead of just throwing it away, why don’t you follow these easy steps on how to repurpose your jar for its next use and new life.
- Know when it’s time to say goodbye. Do not relight your candle when 5-10mm of wax remains as a safety precaution.
- Peel the label off the base of the jar removing any remaining residue with hot soapy water.
- Remove leftover wax carefully. We don’t want you to hurt yourself by breaking the glass.
- Simply put your glass in the freezer for at least four hours. Use a butter knife to gently pry out the remaining wax and wick. Wipe off any remaining residue with wet paper towel before washing it clean.
- Alternatively, carefully pour a small amount of very hot water directly into your vessels and wait approximately 30 minutes or until the wax is lifted and cooled on the surface. Remove the wax, use a butter knife to gently pry out the wick, wipe off any remaining residue with paper towel before washing it clean.
- Never pour melted wax or water with wax residue down the drain to prevent clogging the pipe
