1. Remove Remaining Wax (Choose One Method)
♦️ Hot Water Method: Pour hot water into the jar to melt the wax. Once the wax cools and hardens on the surface, simply scoop it out. (Caution: do not burn yourself with hot water or hot wax.)
🔷 Freezer Method: Place your candle jar in the freezer for a few hours. The wax will contract and pop out easily.
2. Clean the Jar Thoroughly
Use warm, soapy water to remove any wax residue. If stubborn spots remain, rubbing alcohol or vinegar can help dissolve them.
3. Remove Any Labels
Peel off any labels. For sticky residue, use rubbing alcohol or a baking soda + oil mixture to wipe the glass clean.
4. Dry & Polish the Glass
After washing, dry the jar completely with a soft cloth. For extra shine, buff it with a microfiber cloth.
5. Repurpose & Enjoy!
Your glass is now ready for a second life—here’s how to make the most of it.
