Can scented candles be reused?

Yes, scented candles can be reused in different ways. According to one source, you can reuse scented candle wax by boiling a pot of water and submerging the jar or container full of used candle wax in it for at least 30 minutes. This will melt away any remaining leftover wick residue that’s left on there, but don’t leave anything else like paper towels or plastic wrap sitting on top because these things can cause the molten liquid to splash out over everything.

You can also make new candles, wax melts, fire starters, or citronella candles from the melted wax. You will need some equipment and materials such as new wicks, essential oils, molds, etc. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this online.

Another option is to remove the wax drippings from the candleholders by running hot water over them or by placing them in the freezer for an hour or so. This will allow you to use the candleholders for other purposes or to refill them with new wax.

I hope this helps you reuse your scented candles and enjoy their fragrance for longer.
