Default How to get wax out of candles

I have always had a hard time getting wax out of candle holders when the candle stops burning. I would soak them in hot water and then some of the wax would go down the drain, well I just read to add a small amount of water in the holder and I did it and it works GREAT. When the candle goes out, the left over wax just slips out. Just wanted to let you know in case anyone else has this problem.

Freeze it!!! The wax contracts and pulls away from the glass and out it pops in one piece!

Good info. Thanks guys. I always put mine on a lined cookie sheet and heated on the oven, but it doesn't get all the way out. I will try your ways. Again Thanks !

I Love N.C. - you mean put the water in the bottom of the holder before you put the candle in?

That makes sense.

What I had a hard time with were the glass jar candles which come ready made. I tend to recycle a lot of things, and could not see throwing glass containers out the door. Now, I use the candle burner I have and when the scent is completely gone, I score the left over with a knife, pop out what I can (usually after it has been warmed that many times, it cleans easily) - then use hot water.

I have found so many uses for these jars - and have even filled them with candy and presents to give as gifts.

Wrapped 'melters', tea lights, a few shells or something 'blingy', a little ribbon - and viola'!

I know, too much time on my hands!

Yes, put the water in before you put your candle in. The freezing is good too, but it takes time for it to freeze, this way as soon as the candle goes out, the wax just slips out and you put another candle in, I love it. I was using the hot water, but I found out the wax can collect in your pipes and cause problems.
