No, not in my ears, though I wish it was so simple to clear up what's bothering them this week!

Last night we had a power failure and Amy and I lit candles. I, unfortunately spilled some wax on a wood floor. She, unfortunately spilled some on the couch fabric.

Any suggestions as to how to get it out?

Hi ,
Use ice on it- freeze it on the wood floor for a minute or two- and then scrape the rest up carefully with a dull (butter) knife- on the fabric if heat won't hurt it- put paper towels over it- couple layers- then use your iron to heat it on low- paper towels will absorb it.. should get most of it out like that- may take a couple tries though- my hubby loves candles and I have to do this all the time... he forgets to blow them out! or put something under them like the big plates I buy just for the purpose...LOL!

That would be my suggestion too Lynne, i have tried both and they do work well!
Good luck

On the wood floor, you could use a plastic scraper to get it off. I agree with Nana on the couch! Good luck!

Bummer!try marthastewart.com she probably would know:-) hope it comes out!

Good luck on getting that all out Lynne!

Yep Lynne, I hope you get it out too...we haven't had a power outage here for so long! They are always sort of fun in a way....just not fun when the wax gets spilled huh?

Thanks for the great suggestions!

loz - it was not fun - it was 10p.m. and I was in the middle of chatting with my friends here! I knitted by candlelight for a little bit til I needed to be able to see it more clearly, and then went to bed. Didn't get a whole lot of sleep though...

Lynne I do the thing with the iron that Nana suggested...it works everytime. Hope you get it out...

for both the fabric and the floor, use the ice to harden the wax and then scrape with a dull knife - get off as much as you can.

then grab the paper towels and the iron. use the heat to get up any of the residue that's still there.

I use the iron thing too.but I use a paper bag instead of paper towels. it works for melted crayons too. after the wax is all up,then you can use regular cleaners to get out the color.
