HOW TO CLEAN CANDLE JARS

If you are an upcycle enthusiast like me? Here is a quick way to clean the wax residue from the glass jars you have stored like a squirrel hoarding nuts for winter.

STEPS TO CLEAN GLASS JARS

• Freeze the jars
• Freezing jars allows you to remove the wax residue in larger sections.
• Remove the glass jars from the freezer and add hot water (not boiling)
• The hot water softens any remaining candle wax residue.
• A knife in one hand and a a frozen candle jar in the other could mean trouble.
• Finish with a little soapy water to remove any grime or scorch marks around the rim of the jar.
• If you still have wax residue, add more warm water to soften the wax.
• The wick usually has an adhesive back that may need warmer water.
• For an entire month, my freezer had a 1/2 dozen candle jars.
