How to Remove Candle Wax from Glass Coffee Table
Cleaning candle wax from glass tables is a task that requires patience and the right tools. Whether you want to clean the wax yourself or hire a professional cleaner, knowing the right methods and materials is important to avoid damage to your coffee table.
What You’ll Need
- Ice
- Plastic Bag
- Clean Cloth
- Plastic Scraper (screwdriver or a credit card can work as well )
Instructions
- Cover the candle wax spot with an ice-cold plastic bag, such as a Ziploc bag. Leave it for about 5 minutes—this will make it easier to remove.
- Carefully scrape the cooled candle wax away, using the plastic scraper. Make sure to scrape only in one direction and use caution to avoid damaging the glass surface.
- As you scrape away the wax, the remaining residue will slowly become visible. This can be removed with a soft and lint-free cloth.
- If there are still some wax remains, repeat steps 1 and 2 until the entire wax is removed.
- Once completed, polish the glass with a clean cloth.
Although it may be difficult, removing candle wax from a glass table is possible with the right techniques. Make sure to use gentle pressure and scrape in one direction only, to avoid scratching the glass. With patience and the right tools, you can restore your coffee table as it was before.
