Accidentally Poured Wax Down Sink

If you've accidentally poured candle wax down your sink, don't panic! It's not as bad as it seems, and there are a few easy steps you can take to remove it.

First, turn off the water and wait for the wax to cool and harden. Once it's solid, you can start removing it. If the wax is still soft, you can try using a paper towel to soak it up.

If the wax is hard, you can use a butter knife or a plastic scraper to gently scrape it away. Be careful not to scratch the surface of your sink.

Once you've removed most of the wax, you can use a hot water rinse the sink and remove any remaining residue. If there's still some wax left, you can use a commercial drain cleaner to dissolve it.

Here are some additional tips for removing wax from your sink:

Don't use boiling water to remove wax. This can damage the surface of your sink.
Don't use harsh chemicals, such as bleach or ammonia, to remove wax. These chemicals can damage the finish of your sink.
If you have a garbage disposal, don't put wax down it. This can clog the disposal.

By following these steps, you can easily remove wax from your sink and prevent any damage.
