how do you get melted wax off a candlestick holder?

Answer 1

I've always just scratched it off. I never thought of putting it in the freezer...

Answer 2

depends on what hte candlestick is made of...If it's glass or metal, you could use hot water but make sure you protect your hands. If it's a wooden candlestick or something that couldn't withstand hot water, call a candle store and ask (White Barn Candle Company or Yankee Candle). I'm sure they would have a good suggestion since they are in the candle business.

Answer 3

If it's glass and not metal you can soak it in hot water and then take a butter knife around the edges to get rid of the excess wax,then if you have a dishwasher u may then place in the top rack the holder and wash with your dishes and it will be gone :)

Answer 4

I agree w/the above response.by putting it in the freezer. If it does not fit in the freezer the refrigerator can work too. I have also melted it off in a microwave, hot water, or stove. If you get it on the carpet you can use a paper bag and blot it up w/a warm iron.

I have used something wooden like a popsicle stick and scraped it off then used a papertowel to get the dregs off.
