soycool Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I seem to be having trouble when I wash my containers even with Dawn, I dont think I can get enough of the FO residue off because my wicks wont stick no matter what. I have not used super glue yet, kinda scared to use that stuff bad experience when I was young. heheAny suggestions?ThanksNatalie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Try some Goo Gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cetacea Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Wax Remover. Candlewic and a variety of other places sell it. You can also try swishing a little bit of red label rubbing alcohol in the bottom to remove any leftover oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 SOS pads work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leisa2003 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I boil mine first just to start the cleaning process, then use sos pads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ultra hot water and Parson's sudsy ammonia. For adhesives, GooGone, then the Parson's solution. Rinse with very hot water, and paper towel dry, then upside down on a rack in the oven on warm to totally dry.Are you reusing these for personal use or for sales? We reuse ours for testing, but not for sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it in the oven, upside down, and let the wax melt out and wipe it with a paper towel and sometimes with an unscented baby wipe.

Candle Man Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 The cleanest part you need is the inside bottom, so the wick will stick. As long as the sides are fairly cleen, that's just fine for testers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
