To get wax out of a candle jar, follow these steps:
Freeze the jar: Place the candle jar in the freezer for a couple of hours. The cold temperature will cause the wax to shrink and harden, making it easier to remove. Remove the wax: After freezing, use a butter knife, spoon, or similar tool to carefully pry the wax out of the jar. It should come out in one or more large pieces. Be gentle to avoid damaging the jar. Remove the wick holder: Once the wax is removed, you may still see the wick holder at the bottom of the jar. Use a pair of tweezers or a similar tool to remove it. Clean the jar: There might be some wax residue left in the jar. To clean it, fill the jar with warm, soapy water and let it soak for a few minutes. Then, use a sponge or cloth to scrub away any remaining wax. Rinse and dry: Rinse the jar thoroughly with warm water to remove soap residue. Dry the jar completely with a clean towel or let it air dry. After these steps, your candle jar should be clean and ready for repurposing or recycling.
