Removing Candle Wax from Jars

RE: Removing Candle Wax from Jars Post By Giff (Guest Post) (02/05/2006) Soak the label with lighter fluid (NAPTHA), let sit for a few minutes. Most labels come off with light scrapping from a piece of plastic. Wipe clean with a paper towel and wash again in soap and water.

RE: Removing Candle Wax from Jars Post by Great Granny Vi (259) | (01/02/2006) Profile | Contact Just the other day I wanted to remove the wax from a glass heart shaped dish. I put it in the microwave for a few seconds( about 10-12 )and it came right out. After I washed it with antibactrial soap, I put it in the dishwasher. If you still have fragrance try putting warm vinegar in the container and let stand...Then pour that out and make a paste of baking soda and wash it with that. That should take care of it RE: Removing Candle Wax from Jars Post By Judy West (Guest Post) (12/27/2005) How do I easily remove labels from jars and labels? RE: Removing Candle Wax from Jars Post By Barb (Guest Post) (11/26/2004) I had two beautiful empty candle jars that I wanted to use as candy jars. They were glass but I was NEVER able to remove the candle fragrance from them! Even after soaking in clorox, the fragrance returned as soon as the bleach smell faded. I decided they wouldn't work as food containers.
