Ice cubes 冰块

Candle wax and chewing gum can both be tricky to remove but ice cubes can help freeze sticky stains so that they become brittle enough to be picked or scraped.

Toothbrush 牙刷

Paper towels 纸巾

As well as cleaning up spills and soaking up water-based stains, paper towels can also be used to tackle dried candle wax.
除了清理溢出物和吸收污水，纸巾还能用来处理干掉的烛蜡。
