Wax Residue Removal: Choosing Your Method

To begin your candle-to-glass metamorphosis, you'll need to remove any remaining wax. We recommending a choice of two effective methods - COLD or HEAT. Choose the one that is easiest for you:

COLD Method: The Freezer Technique

  • Place your candle in the freezer overnight.
  • The cold causes the wax to contract, shrinking away from the sides of the glass.
  • Once frozen, turn the container upside down and gently tap. The wax should may pop out easily -- or may need some encouragement.
  • If needed, use a spoon to loosen any stubborn bits.

HEAT Method: The Boiling Water Approach

  • Place your candle on a heat-safe surface.
  • Carefully pour boiling water into the container, leaving some space at the top.
  • As the water cools, the melted wax will float to the surface and solidify.
  • Once cooled, simply remove the hardened wax layer.

Whichever method you choose, follow these additional steps:

  • Gently detach the wick holder using a spoon, taking care not to stress the glass. Do NOT use a knife.
  • For any remaining soot marks, soak the glass in hot, soapy water.
  • Scrub the interior thoroughly with dish soap and hot water to ensure all wax residue is gone.

Ongoing Glass Care: Preserving Your Keepsake

To keep your repurposed Keepers Candle glass looking its best:

  • Always wash by hand using dish soap and warm water.
  • Avoid using the dishwasher to protect the beautiful foil design.
  • For stubborn residues, a mixture of baking soda and water can work wonders.

By following these simple steps, you're not just cleaning a candle jar - you're unveiling a unique, handcrafted drinking glass. Each one tells a story, from the moments it lit up your space to the conversations it'll be part of in its new life.
