Okay, we have dripless candles. But even "dripless" candles may drip under some circumstances: When the air is not still, or if candle holders are very close together. Here are some tips to help keep your menorah looking like new:

• Spray "WAX OFF" into candle holders before inserting candles. If you don't have any "WAX OFF" left, try "PAM".
• We also have silver or gold drip guards just for menorahs--also a huge help.
• Keep candles in the freezer before using.
• After using, place menorah in freezer. Wax will harden and should come off easily. (NOTE: not all menorahs are "freezer friendly" . This works primarily with metal menorahs.)

• Hot water (even up to boiling) can be poured in the sink over most brass menorahs. I would not do this with silver-plated, sterling, ceramic or glass ones, most of which can be cleaned running hot tap water or using some liquid dish detergent on a sponge, or your thumbnail.

The above treatments may not be suitable for many menorahs. Common sense must prevail and caution used! Here are some methods we definitely DO NOT recommend:

• Placing in oven and setting to self-clean.
• Avoid the microwave, too!
• Hammer and chisel....trust me...not good.
• Throwing against wall...not good option unless you are very frustrated, or just plain want a new menorah, okay??
• "PAM" will not come to your house to spray your menorah for you!
