With a little knowledge and elbow grease, you can remove wax from just about anything.

It’s inevitable. You are throwing a party and someone knocks over your wax warmer and there is wax all over the carpet, wall and end table. There is no easy way to clean up melted wax from things, but with a little work and knowledge, you’ll be able to remove wax from just about anything. 

From Fabric:

First, put the fabric in the freezer for about thirty minutes (If the wax is on a couch or something that can not be put in the freezer, then use an ice cube to freeze the wax). Then, remove the fabric and scrape off the cold wax. Next, use a warm iron and place a paper bag over the remaining wax. Run the iron over the wax and the paper bag will absorb it. Finish it off by applying a little straight laundry detergent directly to the stain and washing as directed. If the wax leaves a particularly noticeable stain, you can also treat it with stain-remover if the fabric is washable.

From Painted Walls:

Using a similar method to the fabric, warm an iron to its low setting and place several layers of paper towels over the wax. Working in short intervals, run the iron over the paper towels. The wax should transfer to the paper towels. If you are scared to use the iron, try a hairdryer on the hottest setting. Wipe off the wax as it melts. 

From Wood:

Don’t try to chip away at the wax when it’s spilled on wood. This could remove the finish of the wood. Instead, use a hairdryer on the warm setting and slowly melt the wax, wiping it away as it melts. 

From Carpet:

Place a paper bag over the wax and turn your iron on to a low setting. Run your iron over the bag where the wax is. The wax will soften and the bag will absorb it. 

From Sink/Countertop:

Use a dish scraper or credit card to scrape up the wax and discard it in the garbage. Use very hot water to dissolve the rest of the wax then clean with a brush and dish soap.

From Hair:

If the wax is closer to the ends of the hair, hold it under running hot tap water. If it’s closer to the root, use olive oil to help loosen it up and then pull the wax out. 

Hard surfaces like TV, candleholders, etc.

Use an ice cube to freeze the wax then slowly work at chipping the wax off. 

There you have it! With a little knowledge, you can clean wax off of just about anything! To learn more about our beautiful wax warmers, visit candlewarmers.com. 

If you are scared to add metallics to your home decor because you think they are outdated, you are missing out!

It’s easy and fun to add a bit of shine to your home decor with gold, silver, and brass. Today we are sharing 5 great ideas to help you get over that fear and add some much-needed shimmer!

1. Toni over at Design Dazzle helps start us off by adding some cute gold accents to her fireplace mantle for spring. 

We love how she used these coral and turtle shell decorations, all with varying heights, to add gold to the focal point of her home. 

2. Add a little touch of gold with a functional piece like our Pineapple Illumination Warmer. Pair it with our Pineapple Cilantro Wax Melts and you’re in heaven.

3. Adding a touch of gold paint trim around your furniture or painting an old decoration with metallic paint is a great way to add an accent of metallics. This old wood nightstand was updated with paint and they used gold paint around the edges of the drawer and a beautiful vintage drawer pull to add a pop of shine! The hardware was painted with the same metallic paint.

4. Using fabrics to add metallic like color to your room is a brilliant idea. This chair was recovered with a gold metallic fabric for an elegant touch. 

5. Metal bookshelves used to be really popular in the 70’s. You can reclaim one and paint it with metallic paint for a beautiful pop of gold in your room. The traditional glass shelves in this bookshelf have been replaced by beautiful marble slabs. 

Now you have 5 great ideas on how to add gold accents to your home the fun, cheap and easy way! Do you like to decorate with gold? Take a picture of your home decor that features gold and post it on Instagram. Tag @candlewarmers in your post and we might just use it in one of our mood boards!

Consider these 7 tips to make your home an inviting, memorable space for your family, and everyone who visits.

As we ring in the holiday season, we’re all busy switching our home décor, making plans for family gatherings, and preparing to welcome friends and loved ones into our homes. We all want to create a comforting and inviting space where we can make memories, but there’s something more to setting a holiday mood in your home this time of year that goes beyond home décor. Consider these 7 tips to make your home an inviting, memorable space for your family, and everyone who visits. 

1. Catch up with old friends

The holidays are a great excuse to catch up with important people in your life. Work slows down a little for most people, and we have a little extra time to spend at home. Take a little time to reconnect with the people you might not get to see as often as you’d like over a nice dinner at home. 

2. Seasonal Scents

Our sense of smell is the strongest sense when it comes to triggering memories, and one of the first sources of information our brain looks for when we’re making them. Having your home smell just right during the holidays will remind everyone that something special is happening, and similar fragrances will trigger their memories of their time in your home for years to come. Try warming Candle Warmers Etc. fragrances like Pepperberry Wreath and Home for Christmas.  

3. Inviting lighting

Soft, low lighting is perfect for a silent night. Candlelight is a trademark of the holidays, with its ambiance and warmth. Using a fragrance warmer lets you enjoy the fragrance and feel of a lit candle without the open flame.

4. Remember traditions

Just like familiar fragrances, repeating traditions helps us to celebrate this year with memories of years past. Repeating time-honored traditions is a great way to make new memories out of familiar feelings, and to help everyone remember what the season is all about.  

5. Start new traditions

Help this year stand out from the rest by trying something new! Pick one new activity to do with your loved ones, and see if you like it enough to continue the new tradition next year.  
 

6. Rest

Between holiday parties, shopping for gifts, and keeping your home guest-ready, the holidays can be a very busy time of year. It’s easy to get swept up is all the craziness and forget the real reasons for the season. Make some time and space to rest and relax with you loved ones. Quiet moments spent together will be some of the most memorable of all.  

7. Kisses for Christmas

Hang mistletoe at the door, and let the fun begin! Visitors to your home will know they can expect a festive time when their visit starts with a friendly kiss on the cheek!

A picture is worth a thousand words, but a scent can be worth a thousand memories. 

A picture is worth a thousand words, but a scent can be worth a thousand memories. Fragrance is a powerful mental stimulator. A scent can be used to set a mood, to freshen a space, and to evoke powerful memories and feelings. Take a look at the ins and outs of fragrance: 

The power of fragrance:

Busy restaurants, sold out movies, and a scarcity of babysitters can all make skipping Valentine’s Day seem like a good idea. Instead of missing the big day, you can get in touch with the real reason for celebrating with a romantic night at home. Use this checklist to make sure you think of everything before your big date arrives home. 

Use this checklist to make sure you think of everything before your big date arrives home.

Set the Mood

• Fresh Flowers: Having a fresh bouquet in the house makes it feel like a special occasion
• Lighting: Set a romantic mood with some below-eye-level lighting, instead of overhead lighting. Use a candle or wax warmer instead of candles to reduce fire hazard and indoor air pollution. Choose a mild wax fragrances so it doesn’t interfere with your meal
• No Screen Zone: Give your night in all the respect of a night out on the town. Put your cell phones away and focus on each other
• Choose some tunes: Pick some good music that you’ll both enjoy to play in the background

Make a Good Meal

• KISS: Keep it simple, sweetie. Choose a classic favorite for dinner instead of something complicated. Dress it up with garnishments or fancy plates, and enjoy a sure-fire-winner for dinner
• Dress Up Dessert: Making a fancy dessert is much easier than making an entire fancy meal is. Heart-shaped cookies, chocolate drizzled strawberries, or an easy layered parfait are simple to make, and leave a big impression
• After-Dinner Drinks: Turn a meal into an event with 4 full courses (appetizers, entrees, dessert, and drinks). After dessert, you can have some good wine, or you can warm up with some hot chocolate or espresso in festive mugs

After Dinner Activities

Home-themed Valentine’s gifts are a great idea when you’re having a night in. Some good stay-at-home gifts that can keep the romantic mood going include:

• A nice throw blanket
• A movie pack with popcorn and treats
• New sleepwear
