Yankee Candles

So simple!

Of all the candles out there, Yankee Candles are a firm favourite in Irish households. They’re reasonably priced, compared to some competitors. They’re huge, so they last a very long time and they come in so many different scents that

What’s more, they actually smell exactly like they are described. You want the smell of fresh linen? No problem. How about freshly cut grass? They have that too.

Need we go on?

If we had to find a downside to the humble Yankee Candle, it would be that after a few uses they start to get very very dirty looking. Eventually, you are left with a jar half filled with candle wax and half filled with black soot.

Well, that is all about to change after using this hack to restore your Yankee. All you need to use is a baby wipe, or two, and clean the inside of the jar.

It’s that simple.

By wiping away the soot, the jar goes back to its original state and is much more presentable for when friends call over. It’s also better for your hands as you won’t get covered in black stuff every time you go to light the candle.

Your candles will last so much longer.
