3lephant1 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi,I generally keep different colors in different melting pots. I would like to change pots. What would be the best product to clean the pot. My pots are 3 quart aluminum. The red dye is leaving my pot a light pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenscandles Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I use DeSolvIt that I bought at WalMart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I just heat the pot and wipe it out with a paper towel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 unscented wet wipes have helped me remove some pretty stubborn colors and neutralize any lingering scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also used to use the wipes to get the sticky label off the sides of my beer mugs for those candles.Which reminds me, I probably need to pick up some more...

I have to relabel sometimes after taking products in and out of boxes after a few market weeks. I use weatherproof laser labels and the glue really sticks on my tincture bottles specifically for some reason.Alcohol doesn't work well, I tried nail polish remover yesterday...doesn't work. It's frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenscandles Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Well the labels on the sides of the WalMart beer mugs are definitely not weatherproof, but I've found most of the hard to peel off labels come off pretty good with a good scrub of a baby wipe. Sometimes it takes a lot of elbow grease. I suppose if those wipes can clean off that tar like poo that newborns have they oughta clean off just about anything! If you don't want to get stuck with a whole package of baby wipes you can pick up the little travel pack just to try it. The rubbing alcohol never worked in getting my labels off all the way.

Candybee Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Go to the hardware or automotive store to buy some Goo Gone. Best stuff ever for removing gunk and label glue off your jars.To clean out a pouring pot I first heat inside with my heat gun to melt any residual wax and wipe, wipe, wipe out pot with paper towels. I also use those disenfecting towlette wipes to clean out residual scent. Pots come out clean and fresh smelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
