Need a no mess, no heat and no liquid way to get wax out of your favorite glass votive candle holder? Or is the wax stuck inside one of your tealight holders and is just too tricky to try and scrape out? Placing wax into a cold environment causes it to harden and shrink, making it pull away from the glass surface. It’s a super easy way to remove wax with minimal effort. Freezing your wax is the perfect multi-tasking method that you can leave to work its magic while you attend to other things.
So maybe you don’t have freezer space or you need a quicker, more immediate solution. Try this method for removing wax from glass by using hot water. All you need is a spoon, boiling water and a sponge.
Got multiple glass candle holders that you want to remove wax from? The double boiler method may be for you. Faster than freezing the wax and more effective when you only have a thin layer of wax to remove, this quick process will have your glass holders wax free and clean in no time.
Sometimes wax can get into awkward places that make it hard to remove. Accidents can happen at any time, and the next thing you know, you’ve got hardened wax inside your hurricane candle holder, outdoor candle lantern or across your glass-topped table! Too big to fit in your freezer or not practical to melt the wax off? Either way, we’ve got a trick that will work for you. This method is quick and easy for when you need a solution, fast.
