RE: Removing Soot From Candle Jars By Linda (Guest Post) The rubbing alcohol worked great! Posted on 02/05/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Soot From Candle Jars By Marshall (Guest Post) I've got to second the suggestion above about the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. My wife and I bought a box about a month ago, and were highly skeptical. So skeptical that we never got around to trying it until just now when I found this tip list because of a sooty candle jar of my own. So I whipped one out and the candle jar was instantly clean. This was after failing to come clean with soap and water, and then soaking in solvent for two hours, and then trying some bleach, and then trying (from a suggestion elsewhere) a used fabric softener sheet. None of them would do it, but then the Magic Eraser just picked it right up. My wife and I are now sold on them, and she's gone into a cleaning spree around the house with her new Magic Eraser! Great little item!

If a candle is sooty, most likely you're going to end up with ugly black soot on your ceilings as well. Try switching to soy candles-They are much healthier for the environment & you won't have to worry about cleaning up black soot every time you wish to burn a candle! :) If you want more info, please email me at: kathy@yourfreecandle.com Posted on 07/01/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Soot From Candle Jars By carla (Guest Post) I purchased a metal, decorative candle ring, which fits, on the top, of the candle jar. It controls the flame and the jars don't smoke. I bought mine, on a Wal-Mart clearance, months ago, so they may no longer carry them. I also keep the wicks short and don't re-light one without clipping (or pinching) off the top.

Posted on 06/28/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Soot From Candle Jars By Tedebear (Guest Post) Hi Sherry, The absolute easiest way to clean the soot from a candle jar is to wipe a dry used fabric softener sheet on the glass. This tip was posted on Thrifty fun and I have had fantastic results. Now we don't toss the used fabric softener sheets! Posted on 06/28/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Soot From Candle Jars By Christine (Guest Post) Just wipe with a cotton ball or paper towel wet with rubbing alcohol. Easy and effective. (Hydrogen peroxide doesn't work, I know because I've tried it!)

I spray it on the glass front of my fireplace and the soot comes right off, wiping it with a paper towel or rag.. I have used it to get soot out of candle jars too. It works very quickly.

Posted on 06/28/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Soot From Candle Jars By Bonnie (Guest Post) I use a pre-moistened wipe to wipe away the soot & it seems to work good. Posted on 06/27/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Soot From Candle Jars By Heather, Ky (5) Contact It actually doesn't hurt the candle to wash it in hot soapy water.I do that when I can't stand to look at them any longer with built up soot.There is actually a lamp made that melts down candles with a covered light.I bought one for a wedding present for my Daughter.No mess--just the scent.And they are pretty.About $30.00.
