valerie6 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hi,I know that everyone uses paper towels to clean their molds and your pouring pots, I was told by another chandler to use the blue shop towles, because it gets the scent out better, just wonder what everyone else was using??? Thanks in advance.Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 paper towels here, but if the scent wants to stay in the pot, then I use the unscented handi-wipes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusladycandles Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 A couple of months ago, someone mentioned that toilet paper works better. I tried it and it works better and faster than paper towels. I also use less toilet paper than paper towels. And the cheap ones, like the ones at Dollar General at 6 rolls for $1.00, work just fine. For cleaning out the residue and scent, I used mold cleaner i got from Pourette. But any candle supplier has it. I think Michaels even has it.I use papertowels. They work great.

Janette Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I use TP also rather than paper towels. Works great and is cheaper.Janette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonefan80 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 C'mon ladies, after your wipe out the pour pot yeah you might still smell the scent but i've never had it mix in with the next batch. Hopefully you have more than one pot so after you wipe it out you can let it air out a bit before using it again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskokaMom Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I use papertowels as well. I have found that even if there is a little scent left in the pot, it has never affected the next scent that goes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Makin Momma Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I use one Bounty paper towel. Those things are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaskitchen Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I use low cost paper towels. That way if I use more than one to clean up a mess, they don't cost so much to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredron Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I find that Viva paper towels work the best for me. They are really absorbant-better than Scott or Bounty. I use less of them than the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I use paper towels and baby wipes. The baby wipes help remove the scent from your pour pot. I also put my pour pots upside down in the oven on a newspaper lined cookie sheet with the temp on warm,. This help to melt any wax off the pour pot and get rid of the scent.

WYJen Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I'll back Top up Viva paper towels are the only brand that works well for me. I've used toilet paper in a pinch, but very much prefer Viva paper towels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alajane Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Another Viva vote! I bought 2 jumbo packs of Bounty but after trying out a few sheets, they got relegated to the kitchen (I'm not picky there). Nothing cleans my pour pots as well as Viva.(Quite possibly my only brand loyalty!!)Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
