Floating candles are beautiful centerpieces but after a few days, you may be ready to change things up and refresh your Foton pearls. If you’ve ever made a floating candle using Foton Pearled Candles, you might be wondering — can I reuse them? The answer is yes!
One of the best parts about a Foton Candle is that it’s designed to be sustainable, refillable, and easy to clean. Whether you call them candle pearls, pearl candles, or pearled candles, they’re built for creativity and reusability.
Here’s the best way to clean and reuse your floating candles without any waste.
Step 1: Scoop Out the Foton Pearls
After your floating candle has burned out, gently scoop out the Foton Pearls with a spoon or a small mesh strainer. They’ll still look beautiful — just wet!
If you used them in a decorative bowl or candle jar, you can easily lift them out and set them aside.
Step 2: Let the Candle Pearls Dry
Place the pearls on a few layers of paper towel to air dry. The more you spread them out, the faster your Foton candle pearls will dry.
Once dry (which can take a few days), your candle pearls are ready to go again — no waste, no mess.
Step 3: Refill and Reuse
This is the best part of making floating Foton candles! Now that your Foton Pearls are clean and dry, you can pour them back into the Foton Candle box, or directly into your favorite candle vessel or floating candle dish. Add a new wick or reuse your old one, then light it again to enjoy a fresh, clean burn.
Want to switch things up? Try using your pearls in a new candle jar or combine them with different colors for a unique look.
Why Reusable Pearled Candles Are Smarter
Traditional wax candles leave behind leftover wax that’s tough to clean out of glass jars. With Foton Pearled Candles, there’s no sticky residue — just easy cleanup and endless creativity.
Our pearled candles (also known as candle sand or sand candles) are designed for reusing again and again. Whether you’re making floating candles for your next dinner party or filling your candle jars for cozy décor, Foton Candles make it simple to create, refill, and relight.
