Ideas for re-purposing your empty candle jar

We try to be as sustainable as possible, which is why we offer our candle refills and encourage you to reuse your candle jar once your candle is finished.  Here are some simple tips and ideas on how you can  re-purpose an empty candle container.

Clean the empty jar

Firstly, you need to clean your candle container once your candle is finished.  You’ll know it’s time to say goodbye to a candle when there is just a small amount of wax remaining at the bottom of your candle container.  Simply clean out your container using hot soapy water. Our vegetable wax blend of rapeseed and coconut wax is water-soluble and easy to remove.  Our wick tab will still be stuck to the bottom of the glass – you can simply pick this off with your finger nail or a teaspoon.
