what is the best way to clean wax from metal?

Answer by  kmac (235)

Start off by trying to chip out as much of the candle wax as you are able to using something that is unlikely to scratch the metal, such as a popsical stick. To remove the remaining wax, apply a liberal amount of Goo Gone and let it sit for several minutes and then wipe out the rest of the wax.

If you cannot scrape the wax off, try placing the candle holders in the freezer for several hours. Upon removal of the freezer, the wax should be hard enough to just pop right out of the holder. If this doesn't work, try heating the holder with a hair dryer to loosen the wax and remove it that way.

you can use a vegetable peeler to dig out the large lumps of wax,then you can hold the mouth of the holder ,using tongs,upside-down over a flame.The holder should be held like this for five minutes and should be placed on a scratch surface and its mouth must be cleaned immediately with a rough ,dry cloth.

One good technique for this is to place the candleholder (the material it is made of doesn't really matter) in the freezer and leave it over night. Once the wax has frozen you should be able to dump the left over wax right out. You may need to use a sharp instrument to lever it out initially.
