The thought behind our glass candle jars is that once you are done enjoying your candle to its entirety, you may clean out the jar and reuse it! Here are a couple methods to clean out your jars starting with the easiest:
The Wash & Go Method
- Remove as much of the leftover wax as possible using a knife
- Fill the jar with soap and hot water from your faucet
- Let the jar sit there for a minute or two
- Scrub the inside clean and you're done!
The Freezer Method
- Place the candle container into the freezer for a couple of hours
- Once it has frozen, use a knife to gently pry out the remaining wax but be careful
- Use some warm water on a paper towel and wipe out any leftover wax or debris
The Double Boiler Method
- Fill a bowl with boiling water and gently sit the candle container in it for a few minutes
- Once the wax has softened, carefully remove the jar from the water and pour out the melted wax.
- Wash the jar using warm water and soap for a final touch
