Candles are a great way to create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere in your home.
However, accidents happen, and candle wax can end up spilling onto various surfaces. In any case, it can be a challenge to remove candle wax without causing damage.
With the right techniques, it can be done. Here are five easy ways you need to remove candle wax from any surface in your home:
Fabrics
Candle wax on fabrics can be particularly challenging to remove.
The first step is to scrape off any excess wax with a plastic scraper or credit card. Then, place a clean cloth over the wax and use an iron on a low heat setting to gently heat the wax.
As the wax melts, it will be absorbed by the cloth. You may need to repeat this process a few times to completely remove all of it.
Wood Surfaces
Candle wax tends to burn and bond with wood surfaces, so extra care is needed during removal.
Scrape off any excess wax as usual then place a clean cloth over the wax and use an iron on a low heat setting to gently heat the wax for it to be removed easily.
Once the wax is gone, apply furniture polish to the area to restore the shine.
Glass
Candle wax on glass surfaces is relatively easy to remove, but you must take caution not to get it scratched or cracked.
Use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to melt the wax. As the wax melts, use a cloth to wipe it away. If there is any residue left behind, use a glass cleaner to remove it.
Tile or Stone
You can try applying candle wax remover to any spills on tile or stone surfaces in your home to dissolve as much residue as you can.
Afterward, simply scrape off and wipe away excess wax with a cloth
