usually it depends on the table type. when i was 4, i blew out a candle, and knocked it over my bathroom sink area. nobody noticed for a while. when i was 7, i was messing around, and found if you used a paper clip, it gets it off. unfold it, and lightly scrape around, and go all over it, and it comes right off. it did for me!

∙ 13y agoEverybody groans when they stumble upon hardened candle wax on their tablecloth from a romantic candlelit dinner from the night before. Candle wax can be a pain to remove from cloth, but it’s not the most difficult task in the world, fortunately. The process will involve the “waxed” tablecloth, an ironing board, a brown paper bag or newspaper, a iron, and possibly a spot/stain remover.
Removing Excess Wax
If there is a lot of wax that can be easily removed with your fingers, break it away from the wax that is seemingly glued to the cloth. Make sure to remove as much as possible to make the actual wax removal process simpler.
Removing the Tough Wax
Remove the tablecloth from the table and drape it over an ironing board. You will want to now round up a brown paper bag or newspaper as well as an iron for the wax removal process. Lay the paper over the wax spill and power the iron on to a warm setting. Using a hot setting with this removal process will actually burn the paper and possibly the tablecloth.
Press the iron to the paper, and allow the wax to melt and absorb itself up into the paper. Take note that you cannot continually use the same spot on the paper for absorbing the wax. If the spot on the paper that you are using begins to look saturated with wax, move to a clean spot of the bag. Keep changing positions on the paper every so often, and you will eventually have a tablecloth that has been freed of the wax.
However, your tablecloth may now be left with a greasy stain where the wax once was. Saturate the stain with a pre-treater or detergent to prepare it for the washing machine. Try to wash the cloth on the highest setting that it can stand so that little bit of wax/stain residue that’s left over will easily disperse from the tablecloth.
