Help! how do I get candle wax off of a wall?

Question

my brother and his fiance have candle wax the sits in holders on hot plates around the house, and my nephew who is 7 months pulled a cord when I wasnt looking and sent melted candle wax all down the wall, the back of the tv(but that didnt seem to do any harm) and down to the floor. I know I can scrape it off the floor, but is it possible to get it off the wall with out scrapeing off the paint??? please help!! thank you!

Answer 1

What do ya have to lose,try scraping it off. And for God's sake keep cords away from the baby that is dangerous!!!

Answer 2

Goo Gone makes a candle wax remover kit, $4.00, we found it at Bed Bath and Beyond. the kit comes with a plastic spatula / scraper and a solution that is supposed to be safe on painted surfaces. don't use an iron to melt dark colored wax off of a light colored wall with flat finish, as it could make the wax penetrate the paint. hope this helps, good luck.

Answer 3

okay it will be fine, First with a blunt knife gently scrape away any wax you can, then with a brown paper bag ,or the paper you use for wrapping up parcels to sent by post, lay the paper against the wall and with a warm to hot iron , iron over the paper , this will lift the wax on to the paper, then once the wax has been lifted wash with mild soap , Also any wax you spill on carpet´s or clothes work´s the same way

interpreting each and every of the of solutions given...i will show you how to already know that warmth of any style won't rid the wax. it is going to basically create a bigger mess! attempt freezing the factors with ice, permitting the wax to freeze instant. it is going to elevate off, superbly. As on your poster, i think of scraping it gently would be your basically possibility of ridding it. solid success!
