If you spill candle wax on your furniture or carpet, don't panic! The first thing you should do is grab a credit card or another thin, stiff object. Use this to scrape up as much of the wax as possible. Once you've removed as much wax as possible, use a hairdryer to heat the remaining wax. This will make it easier to remove. Finally, use a paper towel or cloth to blot the area and remove any remaining wax.
