You can use very hot water without damaging your garbage disposal or sink.
-
Turn your faucet on and direct the water flow over the wax residue on the sink.
-
Adjust the temperature so the water is as hot as possible. Be careful not to burn your skin.
-
Run water over the wax residue on the sink and garbage disposal until the wax dissolves and runs down the sink. Let the water run for at least two minutes to make sure it doesn’t soften in the pipes.
-
Boil a pot of water on your stove if the residue is still stuck to the sink or garbage disposal blades you cannot access.
-
Slowly pour the boiling water down the drain while running the disposal blades. This will dissolve the rest of the candle wax.
