Put the candle in the freezer for half an hour, then the wax just pops out, no need for hot or boiling water

@mzrizz680 Жыл бұрын

I’ve least done it this way too. I May try the hot water to see if there’s a difference.

How do you. Like. Get it out? Does it not stick to the bottom anymore?

But when it's frozen, you can't cut it somewhat easily. It seems the room temp wax is easier to cut. 💕

Here I was trying to scrub and scrape off every last bit of wax!! Going to try this or the freezer method asap. No more wasted candles!

I use the freezer method. Takes 30 minutes and it pops right out. Repurpose the jar and use the rest as wax melts or make another candle.

Damn girl I've been wondering how to get the candle holders clean! Now I know! I was reusing the wax using a torch to melt the outside of the candle and pour the used wax onto a new candle. Thanks for doing this video 😊

I’ve broken a very expensive glass bong with pouring boiling water in it. I suggest letting the temp get just a little bit cooler than boiling.

@flyingpotatoe1299 7 ай бұрын

Glass candle holders are made with glass that can handle those hot temperatures

@CoachK_ 5 ай бұрын

a smoking bong? why would you use boiling water? if you were trying to clean it you should use alcohol (96% or better) and salt.

@AnthonyChew Жыл бұрын

Thank you for this video! I also use this method for less or non-scented candles just to not waste the wax.

Omg this video just randomly popped up and the voice sounded familiar so I checked the username. I used to watch your KZfaq videos religiously, back when I was first getting into makeup KZfaq! Like 8 9 years ago! I can't believe I found your channel again!

Ha - if you have a gas stove with a middle plate (protects from direct flame), you can melt the wax, pour it in another container, clean out the first container, rewick and then start pouring candles to make a new one. Just make sure the scents are within the same scent profile. It takes about 6-7 Bath and Bodyworks candle leftover wax to make a new one.

Do NOT use this technique if you have handmade/ essential oil candles. I make me own candles and tried this and the hot water just separated from the wax.:( smelt great tho. Use double broiler method! Thanks for the tips though!!

@esraarazzaq2365 6 ай бұрын

Hot water makes the essential oils in the wax dissolve with the water and come out when the water is poured into the sink , so the wax remains odorless

I don’t think BBW candles use EO

@Demopans5990 2 ай бұрын

This is all sorts of wrong. Essential oils are just volatile

Ahhh nooo the boiling water can break the glass…not fun. Just put the candle in the freezer and the wax will shrink so you can get it out.

@@DramaticMac I'm the same way with candles too, I am a hob goblin. I have around 15 candles from BBW and I typically let the candle burn until it's around a inch (or half inch) and poor the melted wax in a bowl, take a spoon and get the wax that didn't melt while torching the aluminum wix things. I was taken off guard because I have been so used to using heat for cleaning the wax out, heating the left over wax in a bowl then freezing it so it's coherent. Your method is definitely interesting and I have taken a shot at it. Definitely more efficient than what I've been doing ❤️
