Accidentally spilled candle wax on your beautiful teak outdoor table? Don’t worry—removing it is easier than you think! Teak is a durable hardwood, but it still requires gentle care to maintain its natural beauty. Here’s a step-by-step guide to safely remove candle wax without harming the wood.

1. Let the Wax Harden: Wait for the wax to cool and harden completely. This makes it easier to scrape off without spreading.

2. Scrape Gently: Use a plastic scraper or a credit card to lift the hardened wax. Avoid metal tools to prevent scratches.

3. Apply Heat: For stubborn residue, place a cloth over the wax and gently iron on low heat. The wax will melt and stick to the cloth.

4. Clean with Mild Soap: Wipe the area with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any remaining wax or oil.

5. Dry and Protect: Dry the table thoroughly and apply teak oil if needed to restore its natural luster.

By following these steps, your teak table will look as good as new! Always test any method in an inconspicuous area first to ensure no damage occurs.
