How do I get candle wax off a hardwood floor?
Harden Candle WaxPlace a plastic bag filled with ice on the area of the hardwood floor where wax was spilled and leave it there for about 15 minutes. This will harden the wax making it easier to remove. Make sure to get the ice on the wax as soon as possible because the sooner it is removed from the hardwood floor, the less of a chance the dyes from the candle wax will stain the wood.Scrape Wax AwayScrape the wax from the wood by using a plastic spatula or credit card. Do this by scraping in the direction of the grain. It should only require a gentle scraping; anything too hard will damage the floor.Clean Up AreaRemove wax pieces from floor area before it warms back up, by using a damp paper towel, vacuum or combination of the two.Source:Love To Know Home Improvement: Removing Old Wax from Hardwood FloorsMerry Maids: Cleaning TipsMore Information:Mrs.
