To remove candle wax from upholstery or carpet: After wax hardens, scrape up excess with a dull knife. Place a white paper towel over the remaining wax. Place a warm iron over the paper towel and press gently. Repeat until all the wax is transferred to the paper towel. If the wax was colored and leaves a stain, pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a rag; gently dab the stain. Mix one teaspoon of a neutral detergent (a mild detergent containing no alkalies or bleaches) with a cup of lukewarm water. Blot.

To mend a candle that has broken, hold the two pieces under very hot water to melt the wax, then press the two parts together.

Save the stubs of candles in a coffee can. Melt all the scraps together. Insert a wick to make a new candle.

Use a piece of raw spaghetti to light candles. This prevents burned fingers.

To keep candles looking new, rub a soft cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol over the stems.

Store candles in the freezer. They will burn longer and drip less.
