Cleaning off Candle Wax

Hi, H.! Use a hair dryer and an old towel. It will come right off!

Ice!!!!!!!!! It works wonders. Put some ice on it to cover it, but don't let it melt take a spatula and scrape it off.

I would dry putting an ice cube on it to get it to harden good and then see if I can get it off. Good luck! :)

I have never tried it, but the only way I have heard of is heating the wax up with a clothing iron and a towel. It should come loose. Good luck!

Take your hair dryer and melt the wax and then wipe it off with a paper towel. This even worked when I spilled my candle on the carpet!

ICE. when it gets cold enough you can just chip it off

I have read that if candle drips on carpet...to put down a sheet of newspaper, a old towel on top and the iron on the towel and the wax will absorb into the paper. Your sitution is differet but maybe you can try to do something simlar...... using paper towels and a straightner iron. Its a thought.

Hair dryer...works on crayon too!

Hi H.,

I've been to lots of Partylite candle parties and they always say to take brown paper bag and lay it over the spilled wax and use your iron on steam and the wax will adhere to the brown paper bag. I did try this (one of my sons love to blow the candles out and some wax spattered on floor) and it did work but it was on my carpet not a table.

Hello. I have had good luck removing candle wax from thing after freezing it. Now a table would be a little had to freeze, but in this weather you could maybe put it in the garage for a little bit and let it really cold. I don't know how that will work. If it doesn't try goo gone.

Try putting something underneath it (like a papertowel) then heat it up with a blowdryer. What doesn't drip off you can wipe it off once it starts to soften.

You could try putting an old towel over the wax and then use an iron on the towel. It worked well for me on carpet, but I'm not sure how it would do on a curved surface.
Good luck!

If you live somewhere cold put your piece of furniture outside, like a porch where it will freeze and the wax will break away much easier. I put may votives in the freezer and the wax easily just pops off the bottom. Good luck.

You may have already gotten this figured out by now, but if not, I thought I'd share an idea...take an old town and your iron. Cover the wax with a folded towel. You won't need much heat and it is amazing how quickly it'll be off. I've used this "trick" several times when I've had a candle spill on the carpet. It works great.

Try using a hair dryer on the hottest setting. When you see it beginning to soften, place/hold a paper towel over the area while continuing to blow dry--the paper towel should absorb the wax eventually. It will take a little patience but it should work. I have used this method on carpeting and decorative cloth by placing a paper towel over the candle wax and ironing the paper towel. It works great!

Try using a towel and a blow dryer, put the towel down on the chair and use the blow dryer to heat up the wax. Good luck

I've heard you can use a hair dryer and a paper towel. Use the hair dryer to melt the wax, then blot it up with the paper towel. It may take a few passes to get it all, but it should work. Oh, if the wax is on an angle, make sure you catch the drips as they melt so they don't just spread onto the rest of the furniture!

If you take an ice pack and let it freeze the wax, it will come off in one big chunk. If you have candle holders that have left over wax in them, put them in the freezer until they are frozen and the wax will just pop right out.I hope that this will help you.

Hi
I don't have an answer for how to clean up the current spill, but I can tell you that I sell Candles that clean up with Hot Water and Soap. http://www.bellasation.scent-team.com We also have a great opportunity for you to make extra money. When you try these Candles you will never go back to a candle that has paraffin wax.
Thank you

Lay 2 paper towels over the wax and then use a dry iron over the paper towels. It melts the wax and transfers it to the paper towel.

H. you can use old dental tools. Quality Supply sells dental tools that are subpar for a dental office and they work very very well. Heat the tip slightly, scrape lightly,wipe wax residue onto a tissue, and repeat as much as necessary to remove unwanted wax. This will be a tedious job no matter how you look at it. Rounded toothpicks will help to chip away the wax also. The dental tools could remove paint also so beware of putting too much pressure on the tool as they are made to "cut" through hardened material.
