Remove Candle Wax With a Butter Knife

We love lighting candles as much as the next guy (who really loves candles), but we've been burned too many times by rogue candle wax. After all, anyone who has tried to remove dried candle wax from a piece of furniture or a couch will know just how difficult it is. This household chore doesn't have to be that difficult, though. If you grab a butter knife from the kitchen, you can scrape it off in no time.

The key to this old-school hack is heating up the butter knife in some hot water before scraping the surface and the wax. If you do this, it should come off with ease.
