If anyone has ever burned a votive candle inside a glass holder, you know that it can create quite the troublesome mess to clean out of the holder. If you plan to use votive candles at your reception, here are some great tips for cleaning out the holder afterwards…

Tip #1
Place one tablespoon of water at the bottom of the votive holder, before putting the candle in. This will create a layer of water between the wax and the glass, and prevent the wax from sticking to the glass.

Tip #2
If you have wax stuck to the inside the glass holder, simply place the wax holder into the freezer for a couple of hours. The cold will cause the wax to shrink away from the glass sides, and the excess wax will just drop out of the holder - easy as that!!

These tips are sure to make life easier when cleaning your votive holders.
