“Every month, we throw out enough glass bottles and jars to fill up a giant skyscraper”

“A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or more to decompose -- and even longer if it's in the landfill”

“Recycling glass saves 25-32% of the energy used to make glass”

“Glass never wears out - it can be recycled forever”

How To Clean and Reuse Your Candle Jars:

1. Only use this method of cleaning when 1/2” or less of wax remains in a jar. Turn oven to 200 degrees, place candle jar on a baking sheet and warm in the oven for 30 minutes or just until wax is liquefied. CAUTION: Jars will be hot to the touch.
2. Pour wax into a disposable heat safe container. Use a disposable towel to wipe out any remaining wax.
3. Squeeze Wax Remover into jar; wipe clean.
4. Spray jar with Homeology All Purpose Cleaner, rinse in hot water and dry.

Or you can pop the jar into the freezer for 30 minutes or so and then use a fork to pull the wax up and out. Then go on to step 3-4, allowing the jar to warm up naturally before rinsing with hot water.

Recycle/Re-use Your Empty Candle Jars

If you are anything like me... you are bound to have empty candle jars piling up! Clean them up and put them to good use . . . here are some ideas:

· Fill with pet treats for home or the animal shelter
· Use as a Bamboo plant holder
· Store sugar, flour, spices, tea, etc. in them – especially great with our baking line jars.
· Fill with coffee beans, place in refrigerator to combat odors
· Fill with dry cookie/brownie/hot cocoa mixes, add a bow and a poem and give away as gifts
· Use it in the bathroom as a decorative way to store cotton balls, q-tips, etc.
· Create a centerpiece: Fill with potpourri and use as decoration
· A favorite fresh flower vase for the flowers that your little one brings home
· Fill with sand or marbles, jelly beans, etc and place a glass votive holder in the center and add a votive or tea light
· Great for holders for wick dipper / trimmer.
· Start a herb garden in your kitchen using different size jars
· Fun for uses as pen and pencil holders at your home or office
· Food utensil holder for parties. One for knives, spoons and forks..
· Use as for craft projects with the kids, sponge paint the outside & give as a gift
· Store children's games in jar. Jacks, marbles, chalk, cards, etc
· Place extra buttons that new clothing in the jars
· Make luminaries that won't blow away
· Put a $1 a day in the jar and see how many jars you can fill up by December 31
· Store sharp objects, box cutters, razor blades, pocket knives away from little hands
· Store small items such as nails, nuts and bolts

Go ahead, use your imagination and think up some more cool ways to re-use your candle jars! It's actually kinda fun!

There has been evidence of recycling throughout most of human history. Though the reasons for recycling have varied with time; resource shortages, lack of public waste removal and rising energy costs, the need for it hasn't changed. In fact now more than ever recycling is of the utmost importance, since our very planet is at stake, and each and every person makes a difference. Recycling, not only means separating plastic, glass, paper, etc from your trash it also means to think of ways to reuse those items before you toss them into their respective bins! Let’s get creative...

Cleaning Scent Pods Containers
1. With the wax solid, scoop out two spoonfuls of wax. Put the Scent Pod on a Pod Warmer until the wax is fully liquefied.
2. Pour wax into a disposable heat safe container. Use a disposable towel to wipe out any remaining wax.
3. Squeeze Wax Remover into Scent Pod; wipe clean.
4. Spray Scent Pod with Homeology All Purpose, rinse in hot water and dry.


Cleaned out Scent Pod containers can be re-used to hold . . .
· Office supplies like paper clips, push pins, rubber bands etc.
· Bathroom items like hair clips, bobby pins, safety pins, etc.
· Small scrapbooking and sewing accessories
· Beads and other crafting supplies
· And you can even use them as travel containers

Have fun with all of your creative ideas...and go green!

Just How Do They Work?

Scent Pods and warmers were designed and developed to work together to produce the best quality fragrance experience. Especially valuable in places where burning a candle isn't necessarily appropriate like in office buildings and schools. Gold Canyon has come out with several different scent pod warmers to choose from and offer over 70 different scent pod fragrances. This is where fragrance and style become one! Easily change from one scent to another. The no-mess, stackable design is exclusively Gold Canyon's. Simply snap off the lid and place the patent-pending pod on top of the warmer. Got questions? ...

How long does a Scent Pod™ last?
* Scent Pods have been designed for 20 hours of Gold Canyon® quality fragrance dispersion. Fragrance strength will diminish over time and it is recommended to discard and replace your Scent Pod after 20 hours of use.

What happens if the pod runs out while the warmer is still on? Is there any fire hazard?
* No. The wax remains in the Scent Pod container after the fragrance has dissipated. We recommend using the timer feature to prevent prolonged use.

Are the pods safe for children or pets?
* Yes. Each Scent Pod is made with the highest quality food-grade paraffin wax. Additionally, Scent Pod wax remains cool to the touch even when liquefied.

Can I use different types of scented wax (poured from candles into the pod container) and re-use?
* Scent Pods and Warmers are a unique system developed to work together to produce the best quality fragrance experience. Each Scent Pod fragrance formula is designed specifically for optimal performance with Gold Canyon Scent Pod Warmers.

How will I know when the pods have worn out?
* You will notice that the fragrance strength has weakened once the Scent Pod has been used for more than 20 hours. Additionally, each Scent Pod label includes five small dots to represent the suggested four-hour use increments to allow you to track product use. After you've used your pod for four hours, simply mark off one of the five small dots to keep track of your Scent Pod use.

How does the timer work?
* The automatic off timer switch allows you to choose how long your fragrance lasts with setting options of four-, eight-, and 12- hour increments. This not only offers peace of mind when using their Pod Warmers, this new feature also helps the Scent Pods last longer without over-using the product.

Are Scent Pods recyclable?
* Yes. Once properly cleaned, Scent Pods can be recycled.

As you can see, scent pods and warmers are the answer to many questions!! If you want fragrance without the flame, you will love these scent pods and warmers! Read more!
