We all love lightning up candles, specially during the cool crisp seasons, but what happens to the glass jars after the candle has finished? If your like me, you just toss it to the recycle bin...right? Well not anymore ladies. I realized how pretty the jars are to just simply throw away. So I had to do some research (google) to find out if there was a way to clean them. I tried this method and found it easy to do.
Step 1: Take your dirty, smokey jar and remove as much wax as you can.
Step 2: Boil water in a tea kettle and let the water stand for about 10 min so that the water is not boiling hot. (I actually didn't wait for the 10 minutes and one of my jars broke, so please be careful and make sure the water is not boiling hot)
Step 3: Place a spoon inside the jar and slowly pour the hot water onto the spoon 3/4 of the way. The wax will begin to float to the top.
Take a paper towel to skim the top to gather the floating wax. Carefully remove the spoon (caution it may be hot so use a hot pad) and pour the water out. Wash with soap and warm water.
Ta Da!! Don't they look clean and pretty?
XOXO

P.S. I'm sure some of you may have already known about this, but believe it or not there are plenty of women out there who don't. I was one of them , so hopefully this will be helpful information to someone.
