Accidentally spilled candle wax on your outdoor furniture? Don’t worry—removing it is easier than you think. Here are some simple and effective methods to restore your furniture’s appearance.
1. Freeze and Scrape: Place ice cubes in a plastic bag and hold them over the wax until it hardens. Use a dull knife or credit card to gently scrape off the wax.
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. Dampen a cloth with the solution and wipe the wax residue. This also helps disinfect the surface.
4. Baking Soda Paste: For stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it to the wax, let it sit, then scrub gently with a soft brush.
5. Commercial Cleaners: If DIY methods fail, use a mild furniture cleaner designed for outdoor use. Always test on a small area first.
Prevent future spills by using candle holders or opting for flameless alternatives. Regular maintenance keeps your outdoor furniture looking great!
