GIVE YOUR CANDLE JARS A SECOND LIFE. HOW TO REPURPOSE USED CANDLE JARS.
WHY YOU SHOULD REPURPOSE YOUR CANDLE JARS
The candle industry generates millions of containers, most which end up in landfills. To reduce waste, here are some ideas to repurpose your candle jars!
First, clean out used candle jars properly
Option 1: The Freezer Method
Place your candles in the freezer for about 1-2 hours.
Once it’s frozen, use a butter knife or spoon to pop out the remaining wax. If it doesn’t come out easily, gently crack the wax into pieces and take it out.
Then take out the wick holder. If it’s too stubborn, a pair of pliers will work.
Once everything is out, wash the container with warm, soapy water.
Option 2: The Hot Water Method
Boil a cup of water and pour into the candle.
Let it sit for a few minutes.
After a few minutes, the remaining wax should be floating on top. If not, use a butter knife or spoon to loosen up the wax.
Once everything is out, wash the container with warm, soapy water.
