Candybee Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I used to wash them. But it just takes too much time now especially when you mass produce your candles. Every now and then an order of glassware will come in that's obviously dirty or greasy. Then yes it I will wash it then. Otherwise, No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Don't wash them, don't heat them before pouring. Total waste of time on both counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Not a waste of time for my product. Its what works for me and thats the bottom line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I wash AND hand dry my glassware. Had too many issues with "clean" jars releasing the wicks. And I dry them to make sure they are nice and bright with no water spot. It can take lots of time, but it is not a waste of my time. Besides, as I'm standing there doing it all, I get some TV watching time in, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I wash in Parson's Sudsy ammonia or Dawn original dishwashing liquid, very hot water, rise thoroughly and place upside down in the dishwasher to air dry. Then I replace the glassware in the box from which it came upside down so it doesn't get any debris or dust inside. When testing, I often just give the inside of the test container a swipe with an alcohol prep-pad... quick and easy way to dissolve any residue left over from manufacturing. When I have had too much glassware to handle with handwashing, I use a cup of white vinegar in place of detergent and a hot water rinse and dry - but NO rinse agent!
