Giving your candle vessel a second life is both sustainable and simple! With our easy-to-follow steps, you can prepare your vessel for a candle refill and continue enjoying your favorite scents. Follow these instructions to ensure a seamless refill experience.
Preparing Your Vessel for Refills
Step 1: Remove Old Wax
Use a spoon to gently loosen the edge of the remaining wax and lift it out of the jar. Avoid using sharp objects that could scratch or damage the interior.
Step 2: Remove the Wick and Wick Clip
Carefully remove the old wick and its clip from the bottom of the jar using a spoon. Do not use sharp tools, as they may damage the vessel’s protective barrier.
Step 3: Clean the Jar
Wipe out any leftover wax residue using a dishcloth. Do not submerge the vessel in water or place it in the dishwasher. Instead, use a washcloth, warm water, and non-abrasive dish soap. Dry the jar thoroughly before proceeding.
Step 4: Inspect the Jar
Check the inside of the vessel to ensure the wax barrier remains smooth and shiny without cracks. If you notice any wear or cracks, repurpose the vessel for something other than candles to avoid safety hazards.
Step 5: Insert the Refill
Unwrap your new candle refill and gently place it into the cleaned vessel. Ensure it sits securely before lighting.
Step 6: Light & Enjoy!
Once your refill is in place, light your candle and enjoy the warmth and ambiance once again!
Important Safety Warnings
- Never pour hot water into the jar.
- Never heat the jar in the microwave.
- Never place the jar in the freezer.
By following these simple steps, you’ll extend the life of your candle vessel and continue to enjoy your favorite scents effortlessly. Happy refilling!
