Hey there, fellow candle lovers!
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably got a collection of candle jars stashed away, waiting for a new lease on life. Some are too pretty to toss, especially from those luxury candle brands, am I right??
So, why not clean them up and give them a second chance at greatness?
Follow this simple step by step guide where I’ll show you how!
How To Remove Leftover Candle Wax From A Jar To Repurpose
Step 1: Getting That Leftover Wax Out!
First thing’s first, pop those jars in the freezer for a couple of hours.
It makes the remaining wax shrink, so you can then easily scrape it out with a butter knife.
No fuss, no mess!
Step 2: Time to Give The Jar a Bubble Bath
Once the wax is out, grab some dish soap and warm water, and give that jar a nice scrub.
Make sure you get into all those nooks and crannies. Remember, a sparkling clean jar is a pretty jar!
Step 3: Rinse and Dry the Jar
A quick rinse, and you’re done!
Just leave the jar to air dry, and you’re ready to get creative.
