Wax Candle Spots Are Easy to Remove from Rugs
Dripping wax on rugs can be removed by scraping with care to avoid yarn damage and then sponging with carbon tetrachloride. If stains persist from colored candles, use a mix of two parts water and one part denatured alcohol. Test first on an inconspicuous area. Wax on linen from candle holders can be treated the same way. Mantel wax responds to vigorous rubbing with a cloth.
