Perhaps you forgot to blow them out after a nice candle lit dinner or maybe the candle just dripped a lot. Either way, you have some messy candle wax to try and get out of your tablecloth. This is a guide about cleaning candle wax from a table cloth.

It didn't work for me. cloth still has a frustrating purple stain from candle wax. The wax came off easily, the stain remains even after pouring boiling water through it. Guess I'll search another site, sigh.
Editor's Note: It's hard to know what kind of coloring was used to make the candle purple. You could try some Dawn which might remove it.

Place paper towel on the stain and iron it. Replace paper towel when it is soaked with the melted wax and continue ironing until all candle wax is gone, then wash as usual.

A hot iron and a brown paper bag. Be sure you scrape it first to remove as much of the wax you can. Then lay it out and put the brown paper bag over the spot and the hot iron on the paper bag. Keep doing it on different spots of the paper and you should have good results. Good Luck
My candles melted through the candleholders and messed up my tablecloth. It has been washed but the stains are still there. Thank you for any help.

Candle wax has spilled and hardened all over a cotton tablecloth. I have heard there are ways to remove it, but I am not having much success. Anyone out there able to help me save my tablecloth?
