How to Clean Your Candle Jar

Quick Clean Guide

Beyond the Burn

Creating Space for What's Next

The ritual doesn't end when your candle burns out. Once your 100-hour journey is complete, your vessel is ready to be transitioned into a lasting part of your home.

Follow these simple steps to reset your apothecary-grade glass for its next purpose.

Step 1

The Label

Unlike standard industrial adhesives, our labels are engineered for a clean break. There is no need for chemicals, oils, or scrubbing.

  • Lift: Once the candle is at room temperature, find a corner of the label and lift gently.
  • Peel: Pull back slowly with steady, even pressure.
  • Result: The label will peel away entirely, leaving your glass jar pristine and free of any sticky residue.

Step 2

The Wax

To remove the final remnants of wax, we utilize the Lava Method, a meditative process that relies on natural buoyancy to clean your vessel with minimal effort.

  • Heat: Boil enough water to fill your candle jar.
  • Pour: Place your jar on a heat-safe surface and fill with hot water, leaving a gap at the top.
  • Wait: As the wax melts, it will float to the surface (the "lava" effect). Enjoy your miniature lava lamp as the transition happens.
  • Cool: Once the water cools completely, the wax re-hardens into a solid disc at the top of your vessel.
  • Remove: Pop the cooled wax disc out, pour the water away, and remove the metal wick holder with a spoon.
  • Sanitize: Wash the jar with warm water and soap. Our glass is food-safe and dishwasher-friendly.
