How to Reuse Your Candle Jar

At Luci di Lucca, we aim to be as sustainable as possible. That’s why we offer candle refills and encourage you to reuse your jar once the candle has finished. Instead of discarding it, give it a second life with a few simple ideas.

Step One: Clean the Empty Jar

Once only a small layer of wax remains at the bottom, it’s time to say goodbye to your candle—and hello to its next purpose. To clean the container, pour in hot soapy water and let it sit for a few minutes. Thanks to our vegetable wax blend of rapeseed and coconut, the residue dissolves easily. As for the wick tab, you can lift it out gently using your fingernail or the edge of a teaspoon.

Step Two: Repurpose with Intention

Once clean, your candle jar becomes a beautiful and functional item you can reuse in many ways:

Refill it: If you’re local, try our refill service. Bring your clean jar back and refill it with your favourite Luci di Lucca fragrance.
Declutter your desk: Use the jar to store pens, pencils, scissors, or paperclips. It’s a chic way to keep your workspace organized.
Beautify your bathroom: Store makeup brushes, lip glosses, cotton pads, or q-tips inside for an elegant and practical touch.
Create a cozy glow: Drop in a tealight to turn your empty candle container into a charming home accent that adds ambient light.

Small choices make a difference. By reusing your candle jar, you reduce waste while adding beauty and purpose to your daily rituals.
