How to remove candle wax from wood floor
First, get an ice cube and harden the wax.
Then scrape it off gently using a plastic ruler or credit card (don’t use a knife or anything sharp as this could damage the wood).
Then, use Cif Cream to get off any excess.
Finally, use a wooden floor wax to ensure your floor remains undamaged.
To prevent candle wax stains there are a couple of things you can do:
Keep candles a good distance from walls. Around 15cm should do the trick and stop any splashes.
Place candles on a drip tray. The tray will collect all the wax that drips down the side of the candle to prevent spills so that you don’t have to worry about how to remove candle wax from wood.
Clean surfaces regularly. Candle wax stains are usually more difficult to remove when it drips on a surface with grime and dirt build-up. So, make sure you regularly wipe down areas close to where you usually place your candles.
