Candle wax spills are a common wintertime mishap, especially during cozy evenings spent indoors. Removing wax effectively without damaging surfaces can be tricky. Here's a safe, eco-friendly guide to help you tackle candle wax spills with ease while preserving your favorite furniture and fabrics.

How to Remove Candle Wax From a Jar or Hard Surface

For hard surfaces like wood, glass, or metal, let the wax harden completely. You can speed this process by using ice. Once hardened, gently scrape the wax off with a plastic card or spatula to avoid scratching the surface. Wipe away any residue with a damp cloth and a spritz of L'AVANT Collective Multipurpose Cleaner, a safe and effective eco-friendly solution for hard surfaces.

How to Remove Candle Wax From Fabric

When dealing with fabric and upholstery, place a paper bag or wax paper over the wax. Use a warm iron to melt the wax, allowing it to transfer onto the paper. Follow up by washing the fabric with our enzyme-based laundry detergent to remove any lingering stains or odors.

How to Remove Candle Wax From Carpet

For carpets, freeze the wax using an ice pack until it becomes brittle. Break the wax into small pieces and vacuum them up. Treat the area with a cloth soaked in warm, soapy water, using a few drops of unscented laundry soap for an eco-conscious clean.

How to Remove Candle Wax Off a Wall

On walls and painted surfaces, soften the wax with a hair dryer set to low heat, holding it a few inches from the surface. Wipe away the softened wax with a microfiber cloth dampened with water and a gentle cleaning spray.

Preventing Wax Spills

To prevent future spills, use candle holders with built-in wax catchers. Place candles on decorative trays or coasters to catch drips. For a mess-free alternative, consider flameless LED candles, which mimic the warmth and glow of traditional candles.

Cleaning Candle Wax

Removing candle wax doesn’t have to be daunting. By using simple techniques and eco-friendly products, you can tackle spills efficiently while protecting your home surfaces. Enjoy your candles worry-free, knowing that you’re equipped to handle any wax mishaps sustainably.
