Leftover wax is fuel. It is not a drain cleaner. Pouring it down the sink is how you meet a plumber. Scrape it, freeze it, or melt it out, then decide whether it is worth a second life.
Useful leftovers
- Wax melts. If the scent is still there, a silicone mould and a cheap burner. Mix leftovers and you get a smell that belongs to nobody.
- Firelighters. Egg boxes, sawdust, a blob of leftover soy. Works in a stove. Not for a paraffin-heavy mix if you are fussy about indoor smoke.
- Bin it. Honestly fine. A tablespoon of soy in the general waste is not an environmental crisis. The glass is the bit worth washing.
How to get it out without a fight: three ways. Boiling water method: here.
Our tins and glasses are meant to be reused. A clean Ness glass is a pen pot. We will not be offended.
