Question: Candle wax on leather I had a party at my house and someone had knocked over a candle spilling wax all over the side of my leather couch. The person did not immediately wipe off any wax nor did they mention the spill so my couch was left with a pretty bad wax stain. I tried the iron and paper towel and was able to get most of the wax off, but now I'm left with a big patch that looks like a stain. Please help!!
