Wax isn't just for candles - you can also use it for many purposes in housekeeping and cleaning.

If you want to make your cleaning and maintenance easier for you, then use wax.

Here are a few tips on how to do it.

Furniture Wax

Apply furniture wax to wooden furniture like tables and chairs. 

It creates a shiny and protective layer that keeps the wood looking nice.

Rub the wax on the furniture, let it sit for a bit, and then buff it with a clean cloth.

Floor Wax

For hard floors like wood or tile, use floor wax. First, clean the floor thoroughly. 

Then, apply a thin layer of wax and let it dry. 

It forms a protective coat and makes the floor shiny. Remember to follow the product instructions.

Car Wax

Car wax is used to make your car look shiny and protect the paint. 

Apply a small amount to a clean and dry car surface, let it dry, and then buff it off with a cloth. 

Your car will look sleek and be less prone to damage.

Candle Wax for Stuck Zippers

If a zipper on your jacket or bag gets stuck, rub the wax from an ordinary candle along the zipper's teeth. 

It acts as a lubricant and helps the zipper move smoothly.

Candle Wax Drips

If candle wax drips onto a table or fabric, let it cool and harden. Then gently scrape it off. 

You can also place a paper towel over the wax and iron it on a low heat setting. The wax will melt and be absorbed by the paper towel.

Skis and Snowboards

Apply wax to the bottom of skis and snowboards. It reduces friction and helps them glide smoothly on the snow. 

Special ski and snowboard waxes are available for this purpose.

Conclusion

Wax can be way more useful than you think, so experiment to make life easier for you.
