Cleaning wax out of a used jar candle can be a bit tricky, but it is definitely doable. Here's a simple method you can follow:

1. First, try to remove as much of the remaining wax as possible using a spoon or a butter knife. Be careful not to damage the jar.
2. Place the jar in the freezer for a few hours, or overnight. This will cause the remaining wax to harden and shrink, making it easier to remove.
3. Take the jar out of the freezer and use a butter knife or a flat object to gently pry the remaining wax out of the jar. If the wax is still stubborn, you can use a hairdryer to melt it slightly, which will make it easier to remove.
4. Once you've removed as much wax as possible, fill the jar with hot water and let it sit for a few minutes. This will help soften any remaining wax and make it easier to remove.
5. Use a sponge or a cloth to wipe the inside of the jar, making sure to remove any remaining wax and residue.
6. If there is still some wax left, you can try using a mixture of hot water and dish soap, or vinegar and baking soda, to help remove it. Simply mix the solution and pour it into the jar, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub and rinse.
7. Once you've removed all the wax and residue, rinse the jar with hot water and dry it thoroughly.

That's it! Your jar should now be clean and ready to reuse.
