38 Life Hacks That Actually Worked for People and Proved Them Wrong

We highly recommend it if you’re not in the habit of lighting candles in the evening to create a romantic and relaxing atmosphere around the house. And if you take up that habit (you can thank us later), you might need to keep this trick handy. If you’re struggling with leftover wax in your finished candles, pour some hot water into that jar, and watch the magic happen.

The wax melts away, rising to the top, making it a breeze to scoop it out. Not only does this save you from the wax-scraping struggle, but it also leaves your beloved candle jar spick and span, ready to be reused or recycled for your DIY projects. So, go ahead and light a few candles tonight, and don’t worry about leaving a mess!
