We all love a beautifully scented aromatherapy candle, but sometimes life has other plans, and we end up with wax spills. While cleaning up is important, this guide goes beyond just removing wax from your carpet and into how to make your space work for you. We'll share creative ways to reuse your candle containers and how to seamlessly incorporate aromatherapy into your daily routine to keep your home feeling fresh, inviting, and full of positive energy. Whether you’re cleaning or enhancing your space, these simple home hacks will help you keep your environment serene and refreshed.
Wax on your carpet can feel like a nightmare, but with a little patience, it’s easy to fix. Here’s how to remove it quickly and effectively:
First, allow the wax to cool down completely. Don’t rush to touch it, as it will only make the situation worse. Once it’s firm, you’ll be able to scrape off the excess without much effort.
Using a blunt knife or spoon, gently scrape off as much of the wax as you can. Be careful not to press too hard and damage your carpet fibres.
Now, for the tricky part - melting the wax without making a mess. Place a clean cotton cloth over the wax stain, and using an iron on a low heat setting, press it gently onto the cloth whilst making sure you are careful to ensure you don’t let the iron touch the carpet without the cloth underneath it. The wax will melt, and the cloth will absorb it. Repeat this process with fresh sections of cloth until the wax is gone. It may take a few attempts, but soon enough, the stain should be lifted.
Once the wax is removed, the last step is to refresh the space. Begin by hoovering up any loose wax pieces to ensure the area is clean. Then, use a calming aromatherapy room and linen mist to fill the room with a soothing, inviting fragrance to leave your space feeling fresh, relaxed, and ready to enjoy.
To avoid wax spills, always place your candles on a heat-resistant surface and away from drafts to ensure an even burn. Remember to trim the wick regularly, which helps maintain a steady flame and prevents excessive wax pooling. These simple steps will keep your candles burning cleanly so your space stays mess-free and serene. For more advice, head to our candle care journal.
Don’t throw away those empty candle containers just yet. With a little creativity, you can reuse them in so many ways, from stylish storage containers to holders for your essential oils collection. Here’s how to clean and repurpose them:
Freeze The Wax: First, pop the candle container in the freezer for a couple of hours. This will make the remaining wax easier to remove.
Scrape Out The Wax: Once frozen, use a butter knife or spoon to scrape out the leftover wax. Be gentle to avoid scratching the container.
Clean The Container: After you’ve removed the wax, give the container a wipe with a damp cloth to remove any remaining residue, and voila, it’s ready for its next life.
Once your container is clean, why not reuse it as a holder for your favourite essential oils? It’s a sustainable way to enjoy your aromatherapy routine while reducing waste. You could also add some fairy lights inside, turning your container into a beautiful, glowing piece of decor. For a more practical use, it makes a lovely jewellery holder or a small planter for your favourite succulents. With just a little creativity, your empty candle containers can be transformed into unique, functional pieces that bring warmth and charm to your space.
