Candle wax & wood

I had a similar situation, but the wax got all over my new carpet! I don't know if this will work for you, but I tried it and it worked. Take a paper towel and lay it over the wax. Then, use a slightly warm iron and iron over the paper towel. The heat melts the wax and the towel soaks it up! Try Googling some other ideas, but I got all the wax out of my carpet. Good luck!

I would try dyi.com also and see if they have some ideas. The real question...are the husband and son still alive??? LOL...

If it makes you feel any better, one Friday my husband and son made a game where they had to bounce a golf ball over a chair and land it into my washer...my washer now has about 10 dents in it.

Hi, my husband runs a custom candle company and we always tell people to use an ice cube. Set the cube on the wax and it will come right off with your finger nail, I can't guarantee that the dye will come off tho. It just depends how long the wax has been on the wood and if the candle company that made the candle used dye or pigment to color the candle. Good luck.
