So I had a Yankee Candle jar, in which the candle was pretty much all burned up. I decided to use it for another little project, therefore needing to clean out the jar. I boiled a small pot of water and poured the water into the jar. The remaining candle was instantly started melting and floating to the top.
While I waited for it to melt, I wondered about the best way to remove the wax. If it hardened before I poured it out, I wouldn't be able to get it out. So I set up a plastic container with some wax paper lining it. Before the wax dried, I poured the wax and water into the container. Then, I waited for the wax to harden. When I was hard enough for me to just pick up with my hands, I took the wax out of the container and set it on a paper plate to finish drying. I poured the water out of the container and just threw away the wax paper, leaving no mess on the container.
The candle wax hardened into a large rectangle. After work today I cut into small chunks and put them in a ziploc bag. Now, we can continue to enjoy the scent using our Scentsy warmer.
