A candle is finished when no more than 5mm of wax remains or when the metal base wick tab is exposed. Follow these easy steps below to clean your vessel once your candle is finished.
Step 1.
Make sure candle has no more than 5mm of wax left and vessel is cool. Place in freezer overnight.
Step 2.
Remove vessel from freezer and let sit for atleast one hour. By now, the wax disc will have shrunken and you can turn the vessel upside and tap the base to allow the disc to fall out or remove wax disc with a tool.
Step 3.
If wick tab is stuck, you can use a pair of pliers to remove it.
Step 4.
Wipe inside of vessel with a wet, soapy cloth, rinse and dry.
Step 5.
You can now repurpose your vessel however you like!
