Candle soot spilled onto this and is now impossible to clean. Any suggestions other than painting?

Not too sure, but have heard that you can try the magic eraser to remove soot from painted walls (dry! - no water). (or try rubbing alcohol on a clean rag) Hope that works.

I sealed mine with a spray sealer in advance. I think paint maybe your only solution

If it's dry I used a paint scrapper for excess, small amounts in the brick I was not able to remove. It its still wet or tacky I used a warm rag with dish soap.

Very difficult to do if you did not liberally apply the wax beforehand. You can try buying another can, or get some APC (all purpose cleaner) dilluted at 1:3. I used Wolf's APC and elbow grease to remove over spray.

Like any pan, you can try filling it part way with water and a large scoop (1/4 c.?) of baking soda. Bring it to a boil then let it rest for a while. After that, a non-metal spatula or other device capable of scraping without causing damage will generally remove the burned on substance.

Personally I would recommend Hagerty's Pewter wash instead. It is also available on Amazon. Best to do a Google Search, it has some good advise on the variety's of Pewter & ways to clean . Tom

I would try a small amount of mineral spirits dabbed on the fabric until its gone. If you can launder the item I would then use spray and wash on that spot and wash the item.

Fill the sink with a bit of bleach water, and let it soak. I have gotten all the stains off of mine that way!

The only thing I've found is regular cleaning with Bona Floor Cleaner, and a new coat of clear varnish. Sorry :(

Hi thereI have no actual experience with this problem however I would approach itthd same way I would approach burning a pot or kettle. Heat vinegar abd water and allow to soak overnight is a gentle option. As it should have only been water in the jug that should be sufficient. Failing that scrubbing with an abrasive cleaner should work. Failing that you could soak overnight with water and half teaspoon of dishwasher powder Hope this helps. James

If you really want to remove the residue then use glass stove top cleaner. Apply the cleaner and let it sit and and then clean it off, repeat if needed.

We had the same problem. First i just dishwash soap and a brush to get it off. Didnt work. Then i out some hand soap on the stains, rubbed it in with my fingers, let it sit for an hour and then washed it off. All stains were gone!

We really haven't managed to get all of it off yet. We used various grades of sandpaper and sanded the bejesus out of the door jam, but we gave up for bit because I was going crazy. When we finish doing that, we'll have to repaint of course. My husband also thinks paint remover might work as well but we haven't tried it yet. Mostly, I've been putting the whole thing off.

Common rubbing alcohol will work (as well as Everclear and such) but will leave soot all over the place. I use deantured alcohol available in the paint section of any store that sells paint. I also have used HEET (**the YELLOW bottle only!!) fuel additive which you can find in any automotive section of a store, it is full of alcohol and burns very clean. DO NOT use other fuels like gasoline or kerosene, just too dangerous. Alcohol only.

I typically clean the residue left with windex . But the glass does contine to soot up I'm afraid .

Try scrubbing it with salt. Maybe even boric acid powder. Never use soap of any kind.

This stuff is awful and explodes!! We got it of by scrubbing with a wash cloth and hot water. Good luck!!!

I know that you have probably already dealt with this but the cover can be removed, but it is REALLY hard. I would use diluted laundry soap and water with a scrub brush and then "rinse" it with a cloth with water until all the soap residue is gone, then dry it with a dry cloth, and spray it with an enzyme spray like Biokleen BacOut. It is safe for kids and pets, and will eat up any lingering bacteria and smells. It has a weird limey-scent, but it dissipates after it dries.
