Tips From Tasha

Q: Hi Tasha.

During the holidays, candle wax dripped all over my favorite table cloth. I've tried everything to get it out, but nothing works. Do you have any tips?

A: Hi Anne.

Try removing hardened wax with a dull knife, then place the stain facedown on some paper towels. Now that you're at the back of the stain, try using a cleaning fluid or dry-cleaning solvent. If it is still there, treat it with a solution of 1 tablespoon mild white hand dish-washing liquid and 1 teaspoon household ammonia in 1 cup water. Then wash according to care label in the hottest water safe for the fabric.

Good luck!
