Make it Easy to Clean Melted Wax

Avoid the Problem in the First Place

By , About.com Guide

This week's tip was submitted by Lydia.

I have often used this one. When I have a candle on a dish or bowl I surround it with rice or sand. Once the candle has melted, it is easy to lift off the cooled wax and discard. This works on plates, wall sconces etc.

Thanks for the tip Lydia!
