- White vinegar
Removal with Heat
This method is widely used and provides effective results. First, cover the wax residue using a soft cloth. Then turn your iron to a low setting and press it onto the cloth to heat up the wax. As the wax begins to melt, use the heat-resistant cloth to slowly wipe it off. Make sure the cloth is always between the candle wax and the iron to prevent the surface from being scratched or damaged.
Removal Without Heat
- Soak a soft cloth in rubbing alcohol and press it onto the wax.
- Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the alcohol to break down the structure of the wax.
- Use the cloth to gently wipe away the wax.
- If the wax is still visible, dip a soft cloth in vinegar and press it onto the wax.
- Let the cloth sit on the wax for a few minutes before wiping away the remaining wax.
These simple methods of removal are effective and will help you keep your glass coffee table looking flawless. Always take caution when using household tools to remove the wax and test any cleaning solutions on a small, inconspicuous area first. With a little bit of work and patience, candle wax can be a thing of the past.
