How to Clean Your New Hidden HiDEA Accessory

How to Clean Your New Hidden HiDEA Accessory

Wax in Your Hidden Accessory? Don’t Stress — It Happens.

Each HiDEA candle is made with a hidden mystery 420 accessory — sealed, wrapped, and tucked deep inside your candle for the perfect reveal moment. We carefully wrap every piece in a protective bag and foil layer to keep it safe, but sometimes a bit of wax can sneak its way in while burning or during the reveal.

The good news? It’s natural soy wax, which means it’s totally safe, non-toxic, and super easy to clean.

Here’s how to get your accessory looking perfect again in just a few simple steps.


Step 1: Let the Candle Fully Cool

Once your candle has finished burning and your hidden accessory is ready to be revealed, allow it to cool completely before removing it.

Trying to grab it while the wax is hot can make things messy — and we want your reveal to stay clean and exciting.


Step 2: Unwrap and Check Your Accessory

Remove the foil and bag carefully. If you notice a little soy wax on your item — don’t worry! It’s completely safe and can be cleaned off in minutes.


Step 3: Use Hot Water to Melt Away the Wax

The easiest (and safest) way to clean your new accessory is with hot water:

  1. Fill a mug or bowl with very hot (not boiling) water.

  2. Place your accessory inside and let it soak for a few minutes.

  3. You’ll see the wax soften and lift right off — that’s the soy magic.

If your accessory has any small crevices or textured surfaces, give it a gentle swirl or use a soft brush to help remove the last bits.


Step 4: Wipe, Rinse & Dry

After soaking, gently wipe your accessory clean with a soft cloth or paper towel.

If it’s glass or metal, you can follow up with a quick rinse in warm water — or an alcohol wipe if you want that fresh-out-of-the-box sparkle.
Dry completely before using or displaying your piece.


Step 5: Enjoy Your New Treasure

Now that it’s clean and ready, it’s time to enjoy your new HiDEA find. Whether it’s a collectible pin, a keychain, or a mystery 420 accessory, every hidden surprise is part of the full HiDEA experience — luxury, creativity, and a little bit of mystery.


Pro Tip: Make the Reveal Smoother Next Time

To make your next reveal even cleaner:

  • Burn your candle on a flat, even surface.

  • Avoid moving it while lit.

  • Allow the top layer of wax to melt evenly before blowing it out.

Each burn brings you closer to your hidden treasure — so take your time, enjoy the scent, and trust the process.


Final Thoughts

If a little wax gets on your accessory, it’s totally normal. Our soy wax is clean-burning, safe, and easy to remove, so you can enjoy your reveal worry-free.

HiDEA candles are all about creating a moment — from the light to the lift to the hidden surprise waiting inside.

So relax, burn slow, and when you find your treasure — you’ll know it was worth the wait.

Reveal the next surprise waiting for you.
