Wax

Candles sweat and leave stains on any hard surface. Put them on holders or plates. Never move a burning candle. Wait until the wax has solidified. Burn soy or bees wax smokeless candles. The soot from candles is quite difficult to remove. Avoid candles with lead wicks.

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 the dull side of a knife. Grab a 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 as it will leave burn marks in the carpet.

Clothing: Freeze the wax with ice. Chip off as much wax as possible. Place 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 hold a bit above the wax. The iron melts the wax into the paper towel. Use all white paper towels only.

Hard surface including wood furniture: Place a piece of wax paper over the wax. 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 or hydrogen peroxide. Most candle wax stains are permanent due to the heat from the wax setting the stain. Burn white or tan color candles only and put them on a holder or plate.
