Remove Leftover Wax & Wick
Before reusing your jar, here’s how to remove the wax and wick tab:
🧊 Freeze & Pop – Place the jar in the freezer for a few hours. The wax will shrink and should pop out easily. Use a butter knife to lift the wick tab.
💦 Hot Water Soak – Pour warm (not boiling) water into the jar and let the wax soften. Once cooled, remove the wax, and use pliers to pry off the metal wick tab.
💨 Hair Dryer Method – Warm the wax with a hairdryer until it softens, then scoop it out with a spoon. If needed, loosen the wick tab with pliers.
Tip: Always let your jar return to room temperature before handling, and never pour melted wax down the sink—it can clog your pipes!
Removing the Label
It’s easy to remove your candle’s label for a clean look:
💦 Soak in Warm Water – Fill your sink with hot (not boiling) water and let the jar soak for 10-15 minutes. The label will soften, making it easier to peel off.
🫒 Use Everyday Oil – Apply a small amount of cooking oil or olive oil to loosen stubborn adhesive, then gently peel the label off. If residue remains, use a plastic scraper or your fingers to remove it, then wipe clean with soapy water or a cloth.
A Sparkling Clean Jar
Once the wax and label are gone, give your jar a fresh start:
🫧 Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to remove residue.
✨ For extra shine, scrub with a baking soda paste.
💦 Rinse well and let air dry.
