One homey thing I did do the other day was remove wax from a doily. Apparently, my husband is so fascinated by watching wax melt that he will let it flow freely over any doilies in its path. *smacks forehead* After picking at it, freezing it, and searching the internet in vain for solutions (for some reason, removing wax from doilies is not a hot topic!), I threw the doily in a pot of boiling water, changing the water from time to time. Eventually, the wax melted off! Hooray! All in a day's work!
On a side note, does anybody know how to remove wax from a pan? :-D
I haven't been over for a while b/c there hasn't been any new posts pop up in my "following" box :P I'm glad to see you back again, though! LOL, that sounds like something my DH would do... I wonder if the hot iron/paper bag trick would have worked? I think you just take a brown paper bag (maybe only 1 layer of paper?), lay it on top of the wax and run a warm/hot iron over it. I think it's supposed to life the wax off. But... I don't know if that would've gotten it all out or if that's only for carpet or what. I can see how it would be pretty hard to remove especially if it was a lace doily!!
ReplyDeleteI think if you put the pan in the freezer you will be able to pop the wax right off. Thanks for stopping my blog. I think procrastination strikes a chord with most of us ;)
ReplyDeleteWhy is your manager trying to kill you. And why did I laugh when I read that?? Should I seek help?
