Life hack: How to clean carbon deposits from candles with sand without sandblasting

This cleaning method is excellent for stale candles, which, in addition to dried soot, have various oxides and rust. Regular soaking in a cleaning solution simply cannot wash them off. The good thing about the method is that it does not require any equipment or training. Everything can be done in a couple of tens of minutes in any garage.

Will need

• Plastic jar for vitamins or medicine.
  
• Dry, fine-grained sand.
