Howto: remove candle wax after you get it all over your desk
So I’m a moron. I started playing with a candle that was burning on my desk and all the melted candle wax spilled and made a huge mess. I wiped up some of it, but the wax was drying and things were getting really gross… Scraping and scrubbing did absolutely no good. Here’s what worked:
- Cut open an old sock
- Lay it down on the candle wax
- Heat up an iron (I used “cotton blend”)
- Set it on the sock
- Wait for the wax to melt
- Lift up the sock, notice that there isn’t any more wax on the desk
- Congrats! Throw away the sock
