Remove Candle Wax from a Glass with a SIMPLY Trick 💥 (GENIUS) 🤯

Do you want to remove wax from a glass? - Here I show you how it works really easy!

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.

u can also put ur candle into the freezer, and it should pop out of the jar after a few hours

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.

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.

Put the glass upside down in the freezer for a couple of hours. The wax comes off easily and in a very clean way!

I put a small amount of water in the container before putting the candle in, never have a problem getting the wax out. I save the wax to make pinecone fire starters and they don’t need a wick.

I put the glass under my armpit for a week until it melts.

Do you have a trick for getting wax out of armpit hair?

[kathrynmettelka]

Useful. I always place candles in glass containers for safety and then have trouble getting wax out. Thank you!!

[KittyLovesGlover]

wax in glass. just stick the item in the freezer, wait till it freezes, the wax will just "pop" out. espcially useful when using wax melts in wax warmers.

I plant succulents in the glasses after I get the wax out! Sometimes use white n black mini rocks from dollar tree in layers.

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.

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.

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.

great tip ! Since my husband retired and is home all day, I don't burn candles anymore, he always goes around blowing them out ☹

[shellitaroyal]

Good idea but I use I flat head screwdriver to carefully pry the wax out. And can get the metal piece out as well. No boiling or freezing needed. Hope it works for you.

Great tip ! My way, your way, doesn’t matter so long as it works ! Thank you !

[doreenlorenzo]

Another great tip! I will try it! Thank you!

1. Throw glass against brick wall
2. Collect wax from ground
3. Sorted.

[chriswalls]

I checked my entire store and couldn't find any winegar. Can I use vinegar, I assume it's similar?

[lestariabadi]

Can also use a layer from disposable mask to strain the wax from water.

I have a candle that is wide and quit burning only around half-way through and this eventually worked. I brewed some water through the coffee pot (without grounds) and poured it in the candle and a lot of the wax melted and rose to the top after a while, but a large chunk was left at the bottom. I think there's just so much wax that the water couldn't get all the way around the wax at the bottom. This works eventually though.
