Things You Will Need
-
Let the wax cool completely until it is no longer soft.
-
Put ice in a zip top bag. Place the bag over the wax so that it becomes brittle. This will make it easier to remove.
-
Dislodge the wax with the edge of a credit card. Because the wax is brittle, it should come off easily in one piece. Do not use any metal or sharp utensils to remove the wax as you risk putting a hole in your couch.
-
Mix one cup of water with one tablespoon of mild liquid dishwashing detergent if the wax has transferred color to the couch. Mix with an egg beater until generous amounts of suds form.
-
Apply only the suds to the couch with a dry and clean sponge. Rub the suds into the couch to remove the wax stain. While the suds contain some water, the amount is minimal and is not enough to damage the microfiber.
-
Allow the couch to air dry thoroughly.
-
Brush the microfiber couch with a suede brush to restore the nap and to remove any dust or debris particles that have become lodged in the couch fibers.
