  • Do you want to remove wax from a glass? - Here I show you how it works really easy!
    ✅ Is HERE something for you? ➡️ amzn.to/3Hi7tEy *
    Have you ever had a candle in a jar where the wick burned down at the end, but there was still some wax in the jar that you would have liked to remove? Here I show you how exactly this works with a simple trick.
    All you need is water. Ideally, this should be 50-60 degrees warm. Because at 40 degrees the wax starts to melt. Now tip the water into the glass, so that the complete wax is under water.
    Now wait a short time and then try to get the wax out with a toothpick. If there is still a relatively large amount of candle wax in the jar, you can remove it directly. Otherwise, wait until the wax has melted. This will bring it to the surface of the water. Now you just have to wait until the water is cold again, then you can easily remove the wax.
    Then tip the water through a household cloth so that the rest of the wax ends up in the cloth, which you can then throw in the trash and you won't have any candle wax in the drain. To get the glass really clean, you can put some vinegar on a piece of cloth and wipe the glass with it.
    After that, your glass should be completely free of candle wax and you can use it for other purposes. Try this trick also with you once.

    i used up the remaining wax by buying empty tea light holders with the wicks. once i’ve removed the leftover wax, i break it up into pieces and then put them into the tea light holders and use it up that way. the candles i was using were pretty pricey, and i wanted to get the most out of them.

      Actually I was looking after a comment like yours. There's a lot of ways you can give a second porpoise to thinks. My husband hates that I'm saving jars of glass or if a ceramic jar lost its handle I sand off the sharp edges and now I have a pot, or a pencil or a brush holder, maybe a jar to have the clean and dirty water when I'm painting. We love kosher pickles and we buy them from a nice and economy brand, like $1½ per jar. After the pickles died, I
      Clean the jar and now I have a container for minced garlic with olive oil, or I can store broth in the fridge and use it for another recipe. I have like 20 Corona beer bottles waiting to become glasses (I broke all the glasses we bought with some ceramic jars and were gifted to us when we married, only in five years... I take some meds that makes me clumsy and I'm already clumsy!
      So yeap. Even the plants with a plastic normal pot that wither, if I can plant another I'll do, if not, they become pots for my felt handmade cactuses haha. He knew what it was to be married to a crafty woman.
      Also some candles are so damn expensive! Or someone gives one as a gift and you don't want to throw it away, just because the wick wastes.

    It doesnt need to be that labor intensive. Dip the jar in hot (nearly boiling) water for a few seconds making sure to water is lower than the rim and at least as high as the top of the wax. Carefully remove jar and turn the jar upside down. If the wax doesnt immediately release, try leaving the jar in the water a bit longer.

    This is what I do. Thanks for the vinegar suggestion - that is a good idea. If it was a scented candle then I sometimes use a little tin as a mould (the type you get tomato purée in or a small apple pie) and then melt the remaining candle wax, and you can use this in a burner, or even on a radiator (in a small dish) if you want the scent without a flame.

    @lizh1988 2 роки тому +11

    Or you can lower the glass into a container filled with hot water, let it sit a few minutes. Take it out carefully, the glass may be hot, use a pad. (OR you can hold the glass by the rim, and run a little hot water on the outside of it to melt it just a little. Take a knife and pry it out, now that the layer against the glass is melted).
    Then pry out the wax chunk with a knife, wipe out any hot wax with a paper towel. If there is more wax that has cooled again, run a little stream of hot water on the outside, and wipe again with paper towel.

    My grandmother told me many many years ago to just slide the jar into the freezer for an hour or two. It pulls the wax away from the sides of the jar and pops right out. No muss, no fuss. The only time it didn't work for me was on a really oily soy candle that was c h e a p trash from a dollar store.

    I put my glass votive holders in a pot of hot water (off the stove). Heating from the inside like this takes too long, heat up the glass from the outside in a hot water bath. Next time I'm trying the freezer trick though, that sounds like an even easier way to do this.
