Concrete Jar Care

Our concrete jars are sealed for durability, but with a little mindful care, they’ll continue looking beautiful and lasting through every reuse.

🧽 Regular Cleaning

Wipe the surface gently with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap with water—avoid scrubbing too hard.

🚫 Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Please don’t use acidic or abrasive cleaners. These can damage the natural texture of the concrete and weaken the protective sealer.

⚠️ Protect from Sharp Objects

While sealed for strength, we recommend not dragging or placing sharp items directly on the surface to prevent scratching or scuffing.

♻️ Reapply the Sealer (If Needed)

Over time, the water-based sealant may wear down, especially with heavy use or exposure to moisture. Reapply as needed to maintain a smooth, protected finish.

☀️ Weather Awareness (For Outdoor Use)

If repurposing your jar outdoors, be mindful of extreme conditions. Direct sunlight, rain, or frost may affect the appearance or longevity of the finish.

🧼 Cleaning Your Jar

  • Use warm water and mild soap to clean after use.
  • Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners to protect the natural finish.
  • Let the jar dry completely before reuse, especially if repurposing as a planter.

🕯️ During Candle Use

  • Place your candle on a heat-safe surface.
  • Don’t let the flame burn all the way to the bottom—leave about ½ inch of wax to prevent jar overheating or damage.
  • Avoid moving the jar while the wax is hot or melted.

🌦️ Protect the Surface

  • Concrete is naturally porous. Keep away from prolonged moisture or oils to prevent surface stains.
  • If water gets on the jar, wipe it dry to avoid marks or darkening.

🧊 For Longevity

  • Store in a dry place when not in use.
  • Tiny surface bubbles and color variations are normal and add to the jar’s charm—no two are alike!

With gentle care, your concrete jar will remain a beautiful, functional piece long after your candle has finished burning.
