How to Remove Candle Wax from Glass Coffee Table
Removing candle wax from a glass coffee table can be a daunting task. Follow these steps for a successful wax removal every time:
Method 1: Heat it Up
- Heat a metal spoon in boiling water for a minute.
- Remove the spoon and let it cool off for a couple of minutes.
- Place the flat side of the spoon against the cooled wax deposit.
- Pass the spoon over the area for about 3-4 minutes, or until the wax has all been melted.
Method 2: Freeze it
- Place a few ice cubes in a plastic bag and lay that directly on top of the wax deposit.
- Let the ice cubes sit for about 10 minutes.
- Once the wax is completely hardened, use the blunt end of a butter knife and carefully remove it.
Once you’ve successfully removed the wax, it’s important to practice preventative measures. Place a coaster or mat over the area of the table where you normally place candles so that wax doesn’t stick directly onto the glass surface. This will make it much easier to clean next time.
