You can put your container in the freezer and when it is frozen, you can usually get the wax right out. Then you can wash it in hot, soapy water and rinse it well. If it doesn’t want to release from the container, run it under hot water for a few minutes after you take it from the freezer. I went to a candle party years ago and learned this and have done it for years. But be careful, they will break if you’re not careful.

Place the container in your freezer for at least an hour and the candle will slide right out.

Simply run super hot water in to the jar until the wax begins to melt then wipe the wax away with a paper towel and wash the jar with hot, soapy water. Works every time and I do it all the time since I’m a major candle freak.
