How to Remove Candle Wax from Carpet

Posted on February 20, 2012 by markboyer in Cleaning

Removing candle wax from carpet is not always easy, but it is not impossible as well. With patience and some diligence, wax can be successfully removed from any type of carpet. However, to do that, you need to take care not only of the wax, but of the dye in the stain as well. These tips will walk you through the process of removing candle wax from carpet.
Instructions

1. The easiest way to remove wax is to tackle it when it is solid. Put a few ice cubes into a plastic bag and place the bag over the spilled wax to harden it. Once the wax is hardened enough to break it up, use a spoon to scrape as much of the wax out of the carpet as possible.
2. To get rid of the remaining candle wax on your  carpet, cover the spot with a clean brown paper and run over it with an iron set on low for a few seconds, as suggested by cleaners Collier’s Wood. Be careful not to burn the carpet fibers while ironing the brown paper. The heat from the iron will cause the wax to liquefy and adhere to the paper, removing it from the carpet. If the area affected by wax is too large, you may need more than one brown paper. This will take some time, so be patient.
3. If there is still any wax left into the carpet fibers, use rubbing alcohol to remove it. The alcohol will help to remove the dye in the stain as well. Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a clean white cloth and gently rub the spot until all of the wax comes out of the carpet. Once the wax is completely removed, rinse the area with plain water, blot up the excess moisture, and let the carpet air dry completely.

If the candle wax doesn’t come out with the method above, consider hiring cleaners Collier’s Wood to the wax removal instead of you.

Cheap and Time Saving Office Cleaning Tips

Posted on January 16, 2012 by DavidStainberg in Cleaning

Working in office is many people’s dream and there are some reasons for that. First of all, you do not need to have a super strong body or inhuman powers to lift things other people cannot. Your concentration needs to be pretty sharp and strong but your life does not depend on that as like if you were a woodcutter, who need to be constantly aware of several tons trees falling around. Other advantage of this sort of work is the respect you get from the people. Everybody respects you when you say that you are working in a nice office and maybe this is because such work is often related with nice high salary, which as you know, is not always necessary. However, being an office worker has some disadvantages. You are constantly sitting which is not good for your health, the computer screen has some harmful radiation and of course, the air is dirty. These problems are all possible to solve so that is why so many big companies like Google for example, have interactive offices. They simply understand how important the clean environment is and how it reflects on the work of the people. (more…)
