How to clean and repurpose your candle jar?

By repurposing your candle jar, you’re saving the planet and showing off your style. Transform it into a chic planter or a trendy storage solution, endless possibilities await!

What you'll need:

  • Spoon or butter knife 
  • Warm water
  • Gentle dish soap (eco-friendly, of course!)
  • Soft cloth or cotton balls
  • Small bowl
  • Rubbing alcohol (optional for stubborn spots)
  • Paper towels or drying rack

Your step-by-step guide:

1. Wax off

Cool down: Let your candle chill. Safety first!

Scoop out leftovers: Grab your spoon or knife and gently scoop out the leftover wax. Think of it as pampering your jar, be gentle.

2. Soak and shine

Bubble bath time: Mix warm water with a splash of gentle dish soap.

Wipe it clean: Dip a cloth or cotton ball in soapy water and wipe the inside. For stubborn wax, use rubbing alcohol—but steer clear of that beautiful outer design!

3. Rinse and dry

Final rinse: Rinse the inside with a damp cloth.

Drying time: Flip it upside down on paper towels or a drying rack. While it dries, feel free to bust a move. Your jar deserves a celebration!

4. Get creative!

Your sparkling clean Édesse jar is ready for its next gig! Use it as a stylish planter, a fun storage solution, or a unique centerpiece. The sky’s the limit, what will you create?

Caution: handle with care

  1. Reuse leftover wax: let any leftover wax cool, then chip it out for use in a wax warmer or as a fire starter.

  2. Watch the temperature: glass jars are tough but not invincible. Avoid extreme temperature changes, like moving a hot jar into cold water, to prevent cracks or breaks.

  3. No microwaves allowed: it might be tempting, but don’t put your jar in the microwave. The metal wick holder inside can cause sparks and create a fire hazard. Stick to safer methods like a warm water soak.

  4. Never pour hot wax down the drain: it hardens as it cools and can clog your pipes. Wipe out any remaining wax with a paper towel before rinsing the jar.

By reusing your Édesse scented candle jar, you’re not just making an eco-friendly choice; you’re adding your flair to home decor. So go ahead—transform that beauty into something new and uniquely you!
