HOW TO REMOVE… CANDLE WAX:
Fabric
- If the wax is still soft, freeze the item to harden the wax, and then scrape off the excess wax.
- Sponge with a dry-cleaning solvent.
- Place the stain between clean paper towels and press with a warm iron to transfer the wax to the paper towels. Replace the paper towels frequently to absorb more wax and prevent transferring the stain to other places on the fabric.
- Pretreat with a prewash stain remover.
- Launder, using chlorine bleach, if safe for the fabric, or oxygen bleach.
- If any color remains, rewash.
Upholstery
- If the wax is still soft, freeze it by applying an ice cube wrapped in a small plastic bag, and then scrape off the excess wax.
- Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with a dry-cleaning solvent.
- Blot until the solvent is absorbed.
- Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until the stain disappears.
Carpet
- If the wax is still soft, freeze it by applying an ice cube wrapped in a small plastic bag, and then scrape off the excess wax.
- Sponge with a dry-cleaning solvent.
- Cover the stain with a clean white cloth and press, using the tip of a warm iron to transfer the wax to the cloth. Repeat, using a clean portion of the cloth until all the wax is transferred from the carpet to the cloth.
- If a color stain remains, sponge the stain again with a dry-cleaning solvent.
