Remove the remains of candles from glass containers

If you have "baked" candle rests in glass containers, it is sufficient to fill these glasses with tap water and leave for one night.

The next day then, you can see the residues, e.g. with a knife tip IN A PIECE out of the glass.

Icki: @ Gitti: The hot water comes out of the line with you and is not heated extra? Does the current come with you then also from the box and is not produced extra? (This means: Even if there is a water tank somewhere, where there is already hot water in stock, if you use any of it, is reheated)

If you take hot water (this "trick" I knew so far) has the advantage that the wax is dissolved immediately, the disadvantage, however, that the wax liquefied in the water is poured into the cast, where it is cold and solid again Depending on how one usually fills his spout and how often one resorts to this method, this can lead to blockages or at least favor them.

So, and that's why I think Heidschi B.'s tip better, because firstly I do not have to heat water (by chance I would even really heat it because I have a water heater) and secondly can prevent the wax ends up in the sink. To be honest, I'm going to try that out soon. Malerchen: @ truthuhn: Do not be angry with me, but you can also exaggerate and "complicate" everything. How much water do you need to remove some candles? And the minimum amount of electricity to reheat the hot water, but also does not matter.
I feel like some people just look at the tips to find "the hair in the soup" and have a reason to let off "some steam" (some more).

In any case, I think the tip with the COLD water overnight good and will try soon.
