Removing Candle Wax

Yikes! You had a party and the candle dripped all over your tablecloth. It is your best tablecloth, so how do you save it? This tip will help you out. It may not work all the time, but it is certainly worth a shot!

Using a butter knife or spoon, scrape off as much of the wax as possible.

Get out your iron and ironing board and iron.

Place a clean tissue or paper towel under and over the wax.

Using the dry setting on your iron, place on top of the tissue/towel and gently press.

The heat from the iron will melt the wax and the tissue/towel will absorb it. Remove the tissue/towel and repeat until you don't see any more wax.

Wash the cloth in your washing machine in the hottest water that is safe for the fabric and dry as normal.
