Accidentally spilled candle wax on your outdoor cushions? Don’t worry—removing it is simpler than you think! Here are a few effective methods to restore your cushions without damaging the fabric.
1. Freeze and Scrape: Place ice cubes in a plastic bag and hold it over the wax until it hardens. Gently scrape off the wax with a dull knife or credit card.
2. Iron and Paper Bag: Place a paper bag or brown paper over the wax stain. Run a warm iron over it—the wax will melt and absorb into the paper. Repeat as needed.
3. Hot Water and Dish Soap: For smaller stains, pour hot (not boiling) water over the wax and blot with a cloth. Follow up with dish soap and warm water to remove residue.
4. Rubbing Alcohol: Dampen a cloth with rubbing alcohol and blot the stain to break down leftover wax. Rinse with water afterward.
For stubborn stains, a mix of baking soda and vinegar can help lift residue. Always test cleaning methods on a small, hidden area first. With these tricks, your cushions will look good as new!
