Hubby accidentally spilled a candle and it splattered wax all over baby's bouncer (and other stuff…

Sounds more like a project.

Maybe try this?? I have spilt wax before and this has worked but it probably depends on the fabric as well but if it is already ruined it probably wouldn't hurt to try.

Five Steps to Remove Candle Wax from Clothes/fabric/etc

1 - Do nothing

The first step is to do nothing – at least until the wax is dry, in any case. Attempting to remove hot wax before it has set is likely to exacerbate the problem, spreading the stain and possibly even burning you. So let the wax set before taking any action.

2 - Give the stain a scrape

Next step is to remove as much of the hardened wax as possible. Take a knife which is sharp enough to do some damage to the wax, but not so sharp that it risks damaging the item of clothing, by carefully making holes. Take care when handling the knife; always use strokes going away from your body to avoid any accidents. Work on the wax to remove as much of the hardened matter as possible, leaving behind just the most embedded of the wax.

Check out this video on removing candle wax - it's easier than you think!

3 - Re-melt the wax

This may appear to contradict the first step above, but the next move is to reheat the wax. Place a dishcloth or a towel under the item of fabric, then put two paper towels over the top of the wax stain. Set an iron at a low to medium heat and iron over the area. The heated wax will melt again, and come away from the fabric, soaking instead into the paper towel. If you find that the paper towel is becoming saturated with the wax, move the towel along to start again on a new spot, or replace it with a new sheet. If you have any blotting paper to hand, this will work just as well, if not better, than paper towels. Always be careful when using an iron.

4 - Leave to soak

By this stage, all of the wax should have been removed from the fabric. However, if the wax was coloured, there is almost certainly going to be a stain remaining on the fabric. If that is the case, prepare a bowl with a solution of water and an oxygen-based stain remover and leave the stain soaking in the bowl for a few hours. This should effectively remove the last remaining stains from the fabric. You could also try applying a small amount of liquid detergent directly to the stain as a stain remover. Always test on an inconspicuous area first before widespread use.

5 - Give it a wash

Finally, give the material a wash in the usual way – either a machine wash or by hand if that is more appropriate. And any remnants of the wax spillage should now be gone!

Mine is a klutz too! It can really test my patience

I think my mom used to put stuff in the freezer when it had wax on it? I could be wrong but it would totally solidify it and you could pick it off

I tried most of this.. but it's on a fuzzy fabric and the wax was dark green! 😢 @maddiesmommy022916, @jsco, @dabcw3814, @brendabravo93,

Aww I'm sorry :(. I would be upset too. I would still use it and just lay a blanket in it. I always kept a blanket in mine because I didn't want her spitting up on it and stuff.

I didn't mean to clean it. Strip the old fabric and buy new one.

Just because something is broken does not mean it's not fixable. Be positive! :)

ugg that sucks but yes try the freezer. just maybe
