How to Get Wax Off of a Microfiber Loveseat

Microfiber is a popular alternative to actual suede because of its cheaper price tag and easy care. However, getting wax on your microfiber loveseat is a step above the usual spill or stain, because it is so tricky to remove both the wax and the color. Although it may require patience and elbow grease, it is possible to get wax off of your microfiber furniture. A few steps will have your loveseat looking like new again.

Blunt knife
Paper towel
Iron
Dry cleaning solvent
White cloth
Terrycloth towel

Instructions

- 1
  Lift the edge of the wax spill carefully with a blunt knife. If the wax is still soft, wrap an ice cube in a cloth and apply it directly to the wax to harden it. Lift (don't scrape) as much of the wax as you can.
- 2
  Fold a paper towel in fourths and lay it over the wax spill. Place a warm iron over the paper towel (with the steam feature off) and move it in small circles for approximately 10 seconds. The wax should transfer to the paper towel. Use a clean paper towel for each application and continue until you have removed as much wax as possible. You will know you cannot get any more when the wax stops transferring.

  Moisten a clean, white cloth with a dry cleaning solvent and blot the stain left behind. Do not rub the stain to avoid grinding it further into the fiber. Allow the solvent to dry and reapply as needed.

  Once the stain is gone, rub the area gently with a dry terrycloth towel to restore the nap.
