Always place a candle on a candleholder. Candles sweat and leave stains on any hard surface. Never move a burning candle. Wait until the wax has solidified. Burn smokeless candles only. The soot from candles is quite difficult to remove. Soy candles do not put off smoke and usually do not contain lead wicks, which are toxic to your lungs.

Candlesticks: Place in the freezer for one to two hours. The wax chips right off.

Carpet, fabric or leather sofa and chairs: Freeze the wax first with an ice cube and scrape off what you can with our Scrape It. Grab an all white paper towel. Set your hair dryer to the hottest setting and heat the wax wiping up the wax as it melts with the paper towel. Do not use an iron on carpet. Many of the carpets are made from Oliphen, which is plastic. The heat from the iron scorches the carpet. It cannot be repaired. A hair dryer works and is quite safe to use.

Clothing: Freeze the wax with ice. Chip off as much wax as possible with our Scrape It. Place the clothing on top of a paper bag containing no printing. Then put an all white paper towel on top of the wax. Set the iron to medium and iron over the wax. The iron melts the wax into the paper towel. If you use a paper towel or bag with printing the heat from the iron sets the ink into the fabric.

Hard surface including wood furniture: Place a piece of all wax paper over the wax and set your hair dryer to high. The wax from the wax paper melts the wax and lifts it from the surface. If there is a stain remaining, use a remover found at most candle stores. Follow bottle directions. If the stain remains, it's permanent.

Treat the wood immediately with Mary Moppins Wood Cleaner and Conditioner.
