Ask Mrs. Clean: House Cleaning, Stain Removal and Organizing Tips

I spilled red candle wax on my very light colored linoleum...Help please! Is there a way to get the stain out?

Hello shiningstar22

I’m going to guess you have already lifted as much of the wax as possible.

First, clean the stained area and wipe up any dirt/debris on the floor. Place several layers of paper towel or paper bags (the kind you get from the grocery store) over any remaining wax. Apply a warm iron (not hot as you don’t want to damage the floor) to draw any remaining wax into the paper towels or paper bags. Replace paper towels or bags as needed.

Using a clean cloth, dip it in rubbing alcohol and wipe the stain. Polish or wax as usual.

Hello there!
I could recommend lemon for stains.
Try it. It works!
