I am a soy candle maker, and I use SCOTT® Towels every day. After pouring candles, I place my glass measuring cup in the microwave and run it for less than 30 seconds. Then I take a SCOTT Towel and wipe out the container. Any excess wax is removed and the glass container can be washed in warm soapy water. There's no worry of getting the sink plumbing plugged with wax.
