How to Prepare Your Candle Vessel for Refilling   

Easily remove old wax using the easy freezer method:  

1. Place your used Parkwood Essentials glass vessel in the freezer for 1-2 hours.  

2. Once the wax is frozen, gently tap or use a butter knife to pop out the hardened wax.  If needed you can gentle pierce the surface of the wax using a butter knife to break the wax into smaller "chunks" which make it easier to remove.  

3. Remove any remaining wick or debris.  If some sticker residue remains from the wick adhesive that's okay and will not affect the refill, however if the buildup is significant, use isopropyl alcohol to rub away the adhesive using a towel.

4. Wash the vessel with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.  NOTE: DO NOT put candle wax down the sink drain. It is important to remove any remaining wax from the vessel before washing in the sink.

5. Drop in your new Parkwood Essentials 7.5oz candle refill, light, and enjoy!
