How should I clean a candle jar after use?

When around 5 mm of wax remains or the metal wick holder becomes visible, it’s time to give your candle a second life.

Step 1
After the final use, allow the candle to cool completely so the wax solidifies and the glass returns to room temperature.

Step 2
To remove the remaining wax:

• Place the candle in a heat-resistant bowl set in the sink.

• Pour water at around 60°C halfway up the bowl, taking care not to let any water enter the candle.

• Leave for two minutes, then lift the jar by holding it at the top.

Step 3
The wax should slide away easily with a rounded blade between the wax and the glass. The jar can then be washed by hand using a non-abrasive sponge and La Droguerie washing-up liquid, or placed in the dishwasher.
