There’s no need to panic. Wax can look like a scary mess but in truth, it’s easily removed. You just need to know how.
To remove wax from your menorah or candlesticks: The trick is hot water. Lots of boiling hot water.
You can use the faucet, if your water gets really hot. If not, use the good old kettle, fill her up and then pour. Make sure to have enough so you can pour it until it runs clear. Be careful! This isn’t a job to do when rushed. Scalding water is dangerous.
You want to pour the water long enough to remove every residue of wax.
You might need to do it a second time to get it all out.
To remove wax from a tablecloth: Again, heat does the trick.
Use a hot iron and a paper towel. Place the paper towel on the spilled wax.
Go over it with the iron until the wax melts and gets absorbed into the paper towel.
Use a clean corner of the paper towel and start again, until all the wax is removed. Wash the tablecloth as usual, to remove the greasy residue.
Using a blow dryer to blow and then wiping with a rag while it comes off also works….
I usually use a paper bag or rag rather than a paper towel together with the iron. Works great!

Anyone have an idea how to get slime out of clothing?

It wasnt specifically explained, but the reason that 9×13 is in the sink is to prevent the wax from going down the drain and clogging it. Alternatively, you can put a few layers of strong paper towel over the drain to catch the wax bits.
Someone asked about removing wax from wood floors. Any suggestions for that? Matt finished parquet floor
Thank you!
I poured a tiny bit of hot water on the wax spot and wiped clean.
Never do over a sink .. because when wax dries it clogs up drains.
Do as picture shows over a pan
Can this be done on fake silver or will it tarnish and ruin?
