How To Remove Candle Wax From Glass Coffee Table
Having a glass coffee table can add a wonderful look to your home, but it can also be vulnerable to damage and stains. Candles dripping wax onto the glass surface can create a mess, but it doesn’t have to be difficult to clean up. Here are some easy tips on how to remove candle wax from a glass coffee table:
Step 1: Cool The Wax
Allow the wax to cool but not harden. Use a cloth to absorb any hot wax that spills onto the glass before it completely solidifies.
Step 2: Remove The Excess Wax
Scrape the excess wax off with a credit card or butter knife. Take care not to scratch the glass.
Step 3: Use An Iron
Put a towel or plain paper over the wax and press a warm or hot iron over the wax. This will absorb the wax into the material.
Step 4: Use A Paper Towel
To help remove the remaining traces of wax, place a paper towel over the wax and run over with the warm iron again. This will help to loosen the wax.
Step 5: Clean The Glass
Use a window cleaner to remove any residue from the wax. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe off the cleaner.
Additional Tips:
- Be mindful of the temperature of the iron. Too hot and it could cause the glass to crack.
- Be sure to use a clean part of the cloth or paper towel each time.
- Always test the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous part of the table first.
Following these steps should help to remove wax from a glass coffee table easily and without damage. If you find the wax stubbornly resists removal, it may be best to seek professional help.
