Does anyone use this? What do you pour the liquid wax in to?

Is this liquid wax good for any household cleaning?

Are you talking about the clear liquid? My cousin almost died from it.

Do not use it where there is the remotest chance of children accessing it. It is "harmful or fatal if swallowed".

Seforim stores sell holders for the liquid parafin. If you do use it, make sure you get the ultrapure parafin-otherwise it smokes like crazy!

You have to buy the specific holders for it. They are glass containers which come in all sorts of nice shapes and have a little hole in which to pour the paraffin.

Don't use unless absolutely necessary!!! It is VERY dangerous if swallowed or comes in contact with skin.

And no, don't use it anywhere that people might come in contact with it. Store it well out of reach of kids.

I spill liquid paraffin on my hands often when filling the shabbos leichter. (impatience). Never even irritated me! And the bottles I buy all have safety caps to prevent children from opening them easily.
Ive been using paraffin for years now and Bli Ayin Hora, never a problem.
