How to Get Melted Candles Out of a Glass Holder
Candles that have melted all over your glass candle holders can be a real pain. You can't clean them when they first melt, or you will burn your hands. Invariably, by the time you have a chance to clean them off, the wax will have melted into tiny nooks and crevices.
You can get the candle wax off easily using just a few simple steps.
Freezing
-
Place the candle holder in the freezer once the wax has cooled completely.
-
Leave it in the freezer for at least one hour.
-
Take the candle holder out of the freezer and pop the candle out with your fingers.
Water
-
Fill a bowl with warm water and set it on the counter.
-
Fully submerge the candle holder in the water.
-
Take the candle holder out and take out the candle. The warm water softens the wax enough for it to come right out.
Things You Will Need
- Freezer
- Bowl
- Warm water
Tip
Before putting a new candle in the holder, place a few drops of water in the candle holder. This will keep the new candle from sticking.
