Accidentally spilled candle wax on your outdoor table? Don’t worry—removing it is easier than you think. Here are a few simple methods to restore your table’s surface:
1. Freeze and Scrape: Place ice cubes in a plastic bag and hold them over the wax until it hardens. Then, gently scrape it off with a plastic scraper or credit card.
2. Heat and Absorb: Use a hairdryer to melt the wax slightly, then blot it up with a paper towel or cloth. Repeat until the wax is gone.
3. Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, then scrub the residue with a soft cloth. This works well for leftover stains.
4. Baking Soda Paste: Combine baking soda and water to form a paste, apply it to the wax, let it sit, then wipe clean.
For stubborn wax, try a commercial cleaner designed for outdoor surfaces. Always test any method on a small area first to avoid damage. With these tips, your table will look as good as new!
