Help, getting wax out of a bottle? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. kaysue4 (594)   ranked 181 out of 994 in crafts4 months ago

I have a very old bottle and I want to get all of the wax out of it and have no clue what to do to get it out. It is a glass bottle that I am cleaning up for a collection that I am starting.
Thanks SO much for your time to help me out.

How much wax is in the bottle, first? Is there quite a bit? You could, of course, heat it and the pour the majority of it out. It will still have a film of wax in there, after that. When that cools you could then, possibly, put it in the fridge and then put something in the bottle that you cold shake against the sides thereby breaking up the remaining hardened wax that was left and shake the chunks out. Would that work? That's all I could think of.

Here is a link that might help, don't know:

Thanks for the link. I was cited to check it out and then it said sold out.
I have soaked it in very hot water and with a knife I was able to pry it out.

If you freeze it the wax hardens and comes out easily! I do it with containers that candles have been in....and it pops right out.

I was scared to freeze the bottle because it is SO old.
I actually put it in the sink with VERY hot water and I was able to pry it out with a knife. Now I have to just soak the rest of it off of the bottle.
Thanks.

What my grandma has always done is to pour boiling water over it to soften it. She lets it cool and then takes a sharp knife to the wax. hope this helps.

I would try hot water. That should loosen up any dirt but also soften up the wax as well

Hot water, dish saop and rice. Shake it up and see what happens.

Hello, newbie here, just put water with dawn dishdetergent in bottle, let soak and wax should pop loose. Always works for me.

Have a good day.
