Cleaning Wax Residue
If you need to safely remove stuck candle wax from inside these crystal holders, try one of these reliable methods:
The Freezer Method: Place the holders in the freezer for about 30 minutes. The cold causes the wax to shrink, allowing it to easily pop out with minimal effort.
The Warm Water Flush: Fill the sink or a container with hot tap water (avoiding boiling water to prevent thermal shock to the crystal) and let the holders sit inside. The wax will soften and melt quickly for an easy wipe-down.
The Hairdryer Method: Use a hairdryer or heat gun on a low setting to warm the sides of the candle cup, then wipe away the residue immediately with a paper towel.
