Our candle glass jars and lids have specifically been chosen to ensure they are great quality so you can use them again

They not only make lovely decorations but can also be used for storage of small items, so whether it’s on your window ledge or dressing table, please do consider reusing our jars 

To encourage you to keep and reuse our jars, we’ve got a few helpful tips on how to remove the candle wax & clean the jars once you’re done 

It’s time to say goodbye to a candle when roughly half an inch of wax remains at the bottom of the jar. Burning a candle past this point can damage the container or even the surface it's sitting on

OPTION ONE

Boil enough water to fill the candle jar, then pour into the container, leaving an inch of space at the top. The water will melt the candle wax, causing it to float to the surface of the container
Let cool completely before removing the wax. With your sink drain stopped, strain the water and remaining candle bits. Be sure that all wax remnants are out of the sink before releasing the drain stopper, as wax may clog the drain

OPTION TWO

Another strategy for getting leftover wax out of a candle jar is to let the jar soak in warm water. Put in a drain stopper and fill your sink with warm water. Ensure to remove the lid and let the open candle jar sit in the sink for 30 minutes. The water will release the wax at the bottom of the container and make it easy to pull out. This method will also remove the label on the jar

How to Clean Candle Jars 

Once the wax has been removed from your candle jars, you might need to clean out lingering wax residue or soot left on the glass. To do so, use warm water, soap, and a sponge to clean the container before wiping dry with a dish towel or paper towel

Pop the lid back on once dry and your lovely jar is ready to be used again!
