Damn girl I've been wondering how to get the candle holders clean! Now I know! I was reusing the wax using a torch to melt the outside of the candle and pour the used wax onto a new candle. Thanks for doing this video 😊
Omg this video just randomly popped up and the voice sounded familiar so I checked the username. I used to watch your RU-vid videos religiously, back when I was first getting into makeup RU-vid! Like 8 9 years ago! I can't believe I found your channel again!
Ha - if you have a gas stove with a middle plate (protects from direct flame), you can melt the wax, pour it in another container, clean out the first container, rewick and then start pouring candles to make a new one. Just make sure the scents are within the same scent profile. It takes about 6-7 Bath and Bodyworks candle leftover wax to make a new one.
Do NOT use this technique if you have handmade/ essential oil candles. I make me own candles and tried this and the hot water just separated from the wax.:( smelt great tho. Use double broiler method! Thanks for the tips though!!
Hot water makes the essential oils in the wax dissolve with the water and come out when the water is poured into the sink , so the wax remains odorless
@@DramaticMac I'm the same way with candles too, I am a hob goblin. I have around 15 candles from BBW and I typically let the candle burn until it's around a inch (or half inch) and poor the melted wax in a bowl, take a spoon and get the wax that didn't melt while torching the aluminum wix things. I was taken off guard because I have been so used to using heat for cleaning the wax out, heating the left over wax in a bowl then freezing it so it's coherent. Your method is definitely interesting and I have taken a shot at it. Definitely more efficient than what I've been doing ❤️
