How Do I Get Melted Candle Wax Out of a Tablecloth

Candlelight dinners are romantic and relaxing, but they can also be messy. If you've ever spilled melted candle wax on your tablecloth, you know it can be a pain to clean up. But don't worry, there are a few easy steps you can follow to remove the wax without damaging the fabric.

First, you'll need to gather a few supplies. You'll need a sharp knife or razor blade, a spoon, a clean cloth or paper towels, and an iron.

Once you have your supplies, follow these steps to remove the wax:

Wait for the wax to cool and harden. This will make it easier to remove.
Use the knife or razor blade to carefully scrape away as much of the wax as possible. Be careful not to cut the fabric.
Use the spoon to gently scrape away any remaining wax residue. Again, be careful not to damage the fabric.
Place the clean cloth or paper towels over the area where the wax was spilled. Cover the cloth with a second layer of wax paper or parchment paper. Use the iron on a low heat setting to melt the remaining wax. The wax will transfer to the cloth or paper towels.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all of the wax has been removed.
Blot the area with a clean cloth or paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

If the wax has stained the fabric, you can try to remove the stain using a commercial stain remover. Always test the stain remover on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.
