Melted Wax Removal | Cleaner's Depot

Spotting – Melted Wax

Introduction

The following will work for melted wax from candles, crayons, and paraffin.

Procedure

1. – Remove as much excess wax as you can with a bone scraper and vacuum thoroughly
2. – Place absorbent paper (brown paper bag) over the wax. Terry cloth is also effective
3. – Place an iron on top of the paper and melt the wax onto paper. Never put the iron above ‘wool’ setting as this will damage fibers
4. – As wax melts into the paper, slowly move the paper to a clean spot
5. – Continue till no more wax is absorbed into the paper
6. – Apply Solvent Clean to the spot and dry vacuum
7. – If a little color or residue is left, apply Avenge Spotter
8. – Rinse and extract
9. – Neutralize with Power Rinse
10. – Dry quickly

NOTE: This is the most efficient and effective way to remove most wax stains; however, occasionally you may need to use a stronger solvent like All Solv in the final steps of removal.
