How to scrub wax from different surfaces

It is best to remove wax from furniture before it has hardened. If you fail to notice the stain right away, then wiping it off without damaging the furniture will be much more difficult.

Here are the most effective methods for removing wax from furniture:

• cooling. To do this, place an ice pack on top of it. Then carefully peel off the wax with a piece of heavy cardboard or an unnecessary plastic card. After cooling, the wax becomes brittle and much easier to remove;
• heating. This method is suitable if the wax trail is small. Place a paper towel on top of it and heat with a hair dryer or iron. It is important that the minimum or average temperature is set. This will prevent damage to the paintwork. You can easily wipe off melted wax with a lint-free cloth.

This will remove the stain if it is on a wooden surface. If wax has dripped onto the fleecy surface of the furniture, then you can try to steam it off and remove it with a special brush. When it is not possible to completely wipe off the stain, you should contact a professional.

When the wax is still hot, it can be easily removed with a regular tissue. And to eliminate the oily sheen, the glass is wiped with soapy water.

If the wax has already hardened, then its removal will occur in several stages:

• carefully cut off most of the stain with a knife as close to the glass as possible. Make sure that the knife does not scratch the surface. If the spot is very small, skip this step;
• stain residues can be removed by freezing. If possible, place the soiled item in the freezer for half an hour. Then remove the wax with a plastic spatula.

If the size does not allow you to freeze the thing, use another method. Heat the stain with a hair dryer. As soon as it starts to melt, blot with a tissue. Repeat the process until the stain is completely gone. The process is quite long, but there will be no trace of the stain. Wipe cleaned surface with solvent or soapy water.

As you can see, wiping off the wax is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The main thing is to do everything carefully, trying not to damage the surface of furniture and glass.
