How to Clean (or Render) Your Beeswax for Candles, Crafts & Body Products

Do you have old comb, wax cappings and lots of little pieces of dirty, sticky wax sitting around? This is how I clean, otherwise called render, my beeswax so that I have a nice, clean beeswax.

This is part 3 of a 3 part series. In this video I show you how to take a block of fairly clean wax and clean it using a cotton t-shirt so that it's super clean and ready for candles, crafts and body products or for sale.

You can do this process as many times as you think it's necessary to get your wax clean. Some people will do this 2-3 times before their wax is totally clean. I usually do this step just once before storage in a clean, container safe from insects and then one more time before pouring into candle molds or putting into body products.

Part I - How to take honeycomb and render it into a piece of wax -    • How to Render (Clean) Beeswax - From ...  

Part II - How to Use a sweatshirt or maple syrup filter to really clean your wax & get all the small particles and pollen out -
   • how to Clean / Render Beeswax Part II  

This process doesn't require you to spend hundreds of dollars on equipment. All of the materials you'll need can be found in your house (possibly your trash can)

All you need is:
• slow cooker
• large glass or metal container with a handle (4cup measuring cup works well)
• large piece of cotton fabric (preferably white)
• 1 rubberband (the thick ones that come on produce work well)
• 1, 32oz container to pour hot wax into (32oz yogurt cup, metal can, glass jar or waxed milk carton works well)
• scissors
• mold (Silicone muffin pans and silicone ice cube trays work well or use another 32oz yogurt container or waxed milk carton)

As with all my videos, I add in as many tips on things not to do and other ways I've tried things that didn't work for me and why. This is a great way to clean wax at home if you're a hobby / backyard beekeeper.
