The Ultimate Guide to Reusing Candle Jars
Raise your hand if you have a collection of burnt out candles and/or empty candle jars in various places around your home. Don't worry, me too.
As we observe Earth Day today, we'd like to present you with what we consider to be the ultimate guide to reusing your Bubble & Geek candle jars (and any candle jars really, we'd just prefer you have ours!).
The first step to reusing your candle jars is to remove any old wax that's still left in the jar. There's a few ways to do that.
1. The Freezer Method
It may sound strange, but one of the best ways to get your last bit of wax out of your candle jar is to freeze it. Why? Candle wax becomes brittle when frozen, which makes it easier to remove. After placing the jar in the freezer for a couple of hours, use a knife to pry out any remaining wax. Then dampen a rag or towel with warm water and wipe out any debris that's left over.
