Ever tried changing out a Scentsy warmer while the wax was still hot and got it all over the wall? I'm a klutz. Seriously I trip over flat surfaces and walls just seem to come out of no where. So it's no surprise that I would get wax somewhere.
A while back I had spilled wax on the white wall in our kitchen. I scraped the best I could to no avail. The red wax was there to stay. Till I thought about heat. I tried a hot wet cloth and that did a little but didn't take it all off. Next I though about a iron. There's no way I could fit it where I needed it to go. Next I thought about the hair dryer that just about caught my head on fire it was so hot. Got it out and went to work on the wax. Literally within mere seconds the wax started to melt and come off the wall. On the down side every time I'd wipe it it would freeze again and smudge down the wall. So I took a wet rag with some vinegar on it and followed the wax with the hair dryer. Slowly but surely it all came off. BAM! Back to new!
The next one was harder. I have two kids and two cats. One knocked a warmer over on the the floor and carpet. I had experience once before with dun, dun, dun, a candle! I know I'm so old fashioned.
I don't have a picture with me but this worked pretty well. Take a paper bag, and an iron. Put the bag over the spot of wax on the floor and put the iron on it's highest setting. Once hot, iron over the spot under the bag on the floor. The Iron melts the wax and the paper bag soaks it up. Keep moving around and repeat as necessary till all the wax is gone. It's worked twice for me. Be careful to do it as quick as possible if it's a dark color wax or a soft stain will remain.
