How to Clean Your Candle Jar

• Freeze Method: Place the jar in the freezer for a few hours. Once the wax hardens, it will pop out easily.

• Hot Water Method: Pour hot (not boiling) water into the jar to melt the wax. Let it cool and remove the wax layer on top.

• Soap and Warm Water: Wash the jar with warm, soapy water to remove any leftover residue.
