My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Removing Candle Wax from Tablecloth

15 years ago

Dh is in the doghouse! He blew out candles on the table and now there are green splotches on the white antique tablecloth.

:(

I looked up how to remove them and read about the ironing method and the hair dryer method, but I'm not sure those would work on small spots. I bought something called GoofOff at Loew's and tried that but it didn't work very well either.

Sniff...Any suggestions? Would bleach help?
