Will you please give me a home remedy to use to remove the melted candle wax out of my vases used for wedding decorating.
 
Fill with boiling water until overflowing?

How about lining with something to catch the wax in the first place, would save a lot of cleaning. :wink:

But first put in a metal spoon etc. takes the heat out of the boiling warter :!: Have made tea in a pint beer glass like that :shock:
 
Depending on the size, and thickness of your vase, you could put it in a container/tub of boiling hot water, and the wax should be easy to move after about 30/mins. If not, if the wax is thick, take a woodburner with a hot knife attatchment and cut it into small enough pieces, tap it lightly until the pieces come out. If none of this works, post back and i might have some more ideas.

Hope this helps :)
