Tips & Tricks

1. Allow wax to dry.
2. Apply an ice cube or pack to the wax. Wax will become brittle and crack.
3. Gently scrape away wax using a dull-edged tool or household item like a butter knife or the edge of a credit card.

To remove remaining wax, you will need an iron and at least two brown paper bags.

1. Set iron to a medium, dry heat.
2. Place one bag underneath the linen and a second paper bag on top of the wax.
3. Gently iron the area until the wax has been transferred to the paper bag.
   Repeat this step, using a new bag, until the wax is gone.
4. Wash your linens, pre-treating any stains left behind by coloured candles.

1. Blot up as much of the red wine as possible from the carpet using a rag.
2. Pour white wine on the carpet around the perimeter of the spill, working the white wine towards the center--this keeps the red wine from gravitating even further out into the clean part of the carpet.
3. Wait about 30 seconds and then blot the area. If any residue of the stain remains, repeat step 2 above.

1. Do not touch the wine.
2. Cover the entire area with table salt, so that entire area affected has been covered with approximately 1/4 inch of salt.
3. Leave undisturbed until completely dry, usually 12-24 hours but may take longer if it exceptionally cold or humid. During the drying process, the salt will pull up the wine.
4. When completely dry, vacuum the salt up and the wine will have disappeared.
