Your Complete Guide to Soy Candle Refills
How to Reuse Your Candle Jar & Enjoy Your Favourite Scents for Less
Refillable candles are one of the simplest ways to enjoy your favourite scents while reducing waste — and at Aggie & I, we’ve made the process beautifully effortless.
If you’ve ever wondered “How do I refill my candle at home?” or “Can I reuse my candle jar?”, this guide walks you through everything you need to know.
Step 1: Prepare Your Empty Candle Jar
Before you pop your refill into place, make sure your jar is completely clean and ready to use.
How to clean your candle jar:
-
Remove any remaining wax (there’s usually just a thin layer).
-
Add a small amount of hot water to soften the wax.
-
Gently scoop out the softened residue using kitchen paper.
-
Dry the jar thoroughly so your refill sits neatly and securely
Step 2: Unbox Your Soy Candle Refill
Your refill arrives ready to use — perfectly shaped to fit into your original Aggie & I jar, complete with a pre-tabbed wick.
There’s no melting, no mess, and no equipment needed.
Simply unbox, place into your clean jar, and you’re done.
Step 3: Light, Enjoy, and Relax
Your candle is ready to burn immediately.
Place your candle in a safe spot, light the wick, and enjoy the cosy glow and beautiful fragrance of your favourite Aggie & I scent — all over again.
Top Tips for the Best Burn
To get the most from your refill:
-
Allow the candle to melt right to the edges on the first burn to prevent tunnelling.
-
Keep the wick trimmed between burns.
-
Never move your candle while the wax is liquid.
-
When around 1cm of wax remains, it’s time to clean your jar and insert a new refill.
