Holiday Candle Safety

Yes, this is the time of year where candles are used most often.
Candles can be festive and can damage furniture.
Some basic info we have all heard is:
Never leave a candle burning unattended.
Always protect the surface the candle sits on (use a glass plate etc)
Now, how do we handle a wax spill from candles on furniture?
My first answer is “always ask an expert?”
So now that you have asked me let me give you a few tips
To remove the wax drippings, use an ice cube or ice pack to the wax to harden it. Easily scrape off as much wax as you can using a plastic credit card or a thin, dull butter knife. Take your time so not to scratch the wood surface. Some of the wax residue may remain on the wooden furniture, using a soft, clean cloth and apply a bit of cream furniture wax to the area. Rub gently and remove the remainder of the wax residue.
Did you know that JC Wood sells furniture polish and Furniture wax?
Happy Holidays and may your candles burn safely
