Candle wax can be easier to remove when hardened; freeze it first, then use a warm iron and paper towels to lift residue from fabric
To effectively remove candle wax from fabric, begin by freezing the wax to solidify it. Once hardened, gently scrape the fabric to lift off as much wax as possible. Follow this by applying heat with an iron to eliminate any remaining traces. For faint stains that linger, a specialized stain remover may be necessary. Always handle heated materials cautiously and refer to care instructions to achieve optimal results.

Antarctica’s ice briefly increased after heavy snowfall: Why scientists remain concerned
Antarctica gained a significant amount of ice between 2021 and 2023 as unusually heavy snowfall added more mass than glaciers were losing in some areas. Scientists say the increase was driven by unusual atmospheric patterns and moisture-rich weather systems, but warn that the effect is temporary. New research suggests snowfall is unlikely to reverse Antarctica’s long-term ice-loss trend.
