How should I clean a candle jar after use?
When 5 mm of wax remain or the metal wick holder is visible, it's time to give your candle a second life.
Step 1
After the last use, it is recommended to let the candle cool down completely so that the wax solidifies and the glass returns to its normal temperature.
Step 2
To remove the wax:
- Place the candle in a heat-resistant bowl, itself placed in a sink
- Pour water at about 60°C up to halfway, making sure not to get any inside the candle
- Leave for two minutes before taking out the jar by holding it at the top
Step 3
The wax will then come off easily by sliding a rounded blade between the wax and the side of the glass. The jar can then be washed by hand with a non-abrasive sponge and La Droguerie washing-up liquid, or in the dishwasher.
