Removing wax from metal sheet pans.

To remove melted plastic or wax from a hard surface start by heating up the substance with a hair dryer to soften it. If you wish to discard the wax instead pour it into a paper cup or an empty non recyclable container such as a milk carton. It should only take a few minutes. Remove residue with a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3.

Move it around every few minutes to expose all sides to the chemicals. Warm your iron to the lowest setting and working in short intervals run the iron over the paper towels. Place several sheets of paper towels over the wax you want to lift off the wall. Once the wax hardens it may be discarded.

Wash the area with hot soapy water to remove residue. Apply medium heat with a blow dryer and wipe away excess wax as it softens. You can also use a hair dryer wiping off the excess wax as it melts. If it seems that gunk is still piled on repeat the coating waiting and scrubbing once more.

Vinegar isn t only for cleaning sheet pans. Hand wash with soap after to remove the baking soda and vinegar smell and taste. If there s a similar coating around the edge of a stainless steel sauté pan boil a few cups of water with cup vinegar for a few minutes pour out and. Plastic in the freezer then chip off with plastic spoon.

Spread the mixture all over the pan making sure to get into the corners. Next chip away at the stain with a knife and then remove any residue with a damp cloth. The wax should transfer to the paper towels. If this doesn t work allow the substance to cool and apply acetone to the stain to soften it again before scraping at it a second time.

Let sit for ten to twenty minutes then scrub the pan with the coarse side of a sponge. To reuse the wax later just tear the paper away and place the wax chunks back in the melting pot.
