It is fun to have festive candles burning during these dark winter months. However the wax spills on hardwood floors and oak built-in buffet—not so much fun! Shari learned some great ways to get rid of the unwanted wax. For the wood surfaces use a blow dryer to heat up the wax and then carefully soak/wipe up the wax with a paper towel. Shari recommends testing it out in a small area before doing larger areas. For the decorative cloth on the buffet: place brown paper bags over and under the cloth and then iron it on a low setting. The wax will soak into the paper bags. Shift the bag when a portion becomes saturated to soak up more wax. Unfortunately Shari learned that those wax drops you don't find for a few weeks (the ones hanging out on hardwood floors under the dining room table) are much harder to get up - so search high and low when the was is overflowing.
