Use the Double Boiler Method
Montgomery is a fan of the double boil method. Fill a pot or saucepan with water (no more than 3/4 full), set your candle jar inside, andĀ bring to a water boiler.Ā Once your wax is soft enough to remove with a spoon, you're all set (you can test if the wax is soft enough by poking it with a spoon or knife). Then, wrap a dish towel around the candleholder to remove it from the hot water.
Alternatively, you can let the wax melt entirely. When it has liquified, carefully remove the jar from the water, scoop out the wick with a spoon, and pour the liquid into a new vessel (where it will harden) to repurpose the wax.

Spoon Out Soft Wax
This task might not be a difficult job if you're working with a more malleable candle wax, such as soy. All you'll need is a spoon to remove leftovers for these softer wax blends, says Johnson. Simply spoon out the remaining wax, clean the jar, and it'll be wax-free in no time.

Pour Hot Water into Jar
Could a difficult jobĀ because you need to pour hot water into the jar. After fews moment, candle wax will melts and floating on the top of water. Let hot water cool down as much as you can before you dispose water out from the jar. Remove the last piece of wax that combined from hot water melts.
