One of life’s biggest let downs is that a candle has to come to an end. No matter how big it is, no matter how quickly or slowly you burn through it... it just can’t last forever.
Thankfully when the the wax runs out of your Paddywax Candle, the container can live on! Our vessels are designed with repurposing in mind to be eco-friendly and keep the memories of burning your favourite candle alive. Removing the wax and reusing the empty vessel is a great activity to do while you wait for your next candle to be delivered to you.
Here our quick four step guide on how to prepare your container to reuse:
1. Place the used candle in the freezer overnight.
2. Once frozen, lightly tap the vessel on a soft surface until the wax pops out. It's sometimes helpful to use a utensil to crack the wax and help it pop out in pieces.
3. Using a soft cloth, remove any remaining wax, wick, or glue dot. Then, give the vessel a good wash!
4. Let the candle live on by using the now empty vessel for another purpose!
