Candles tend to drip and run down candle sticks as they burn. Removing this wax build up will keep your candle sticks looking nice. This is a guide about cleaning candle wax from candle sticks.
Put the candle sticks in hot water. When wax softens, peel it off. Do this again if the melting is not complete. Have an old cloth ready to rub the stick while it is still a bit warm. This will take off the final residue.
Do not use paper towels. That is a wasted use of a scarce natural resource. Save the planet.

How do I remove a lot of wax from a leaded crystal candle holder? The holder is about ten inches high, about 7 inches across, and it is filled with wax (about 3 inches deep). Lesson learned, don't allow others to "please light the candles". Please help!

I have had success removing candle wax by placing the container in the freezer. After the container gets really cold, you can scrape the wax off easily.

Put the items in the freezer for at least an hour or more. When you remove them. The wax will just pop off. Very easy & non messy.
