My power keeps flickering out every once in a while so I lit a candle just in case, and I accidentally spilt wax onto the cushion. I can't get it out. I tried scraping it off, vaccuming it, and I tried the ice thing I read that got it out of other people's carpets and junk.The sofa is made of this soft velvety junk and the wax is like soaked into it or something. I can't even just turn the cushion over. Other people of Answers said use an iron, but there's no iron in our house. Does anyone have any other ideas?Please help! My mother will come home tomorrow afternoon and kill me! Thanks!
Ok I think I can help you- I've gotten this out of a bunch of fabrics. No iron? do you have a hair dryer? Use brown paper grocery bags, and place them on the wax. Turn your hair dryer on LOW to start, just in case the heat could damage the sofa fabric. Let the heat of the dryer melt the wax, and keep soaking it up in the paper bag- I ususally tear up the bag into managable pieces. This may take a while, but I have gotten wax out of a neighbors rabbit fur pelt he had on his dresser. this does work. I would try to borrow a neighbors iron if you could, however, that would go faster. Keep checking the fabric underneath the paper- to make sure its not burning the sofa fabric. good luck- hope this helps!
No iron eh? Well, you're a female so you have a hairdryer. Same trick, just use your hairdryer. You might also want to try a product called Goo-Gone. It works great on crayons, and what are crayons made of but wax?
Get a paper grocery bag, your iron, and a butter knife. Put the bag over the wax and iron over it to melt it. Some will go into the bag and while its warm, scrape a bit with the butter knife. Repeat till its gone.
Reheating the wax is the only way to get it out...get a brown paper bag and a curling iron or something that gets hot. Lay the paper bag (only one layer) on the sofa and rub the hot surface over the bag. Be careful not to move the bag side to side it will just spread pull it up when your done. Try asking a neighbor to borrow their iron. Good Luck!
Take an ice cube hold on it It makes the wax brittle easier to pull off.
