Candle Wax on Furniture

does anyone know how to get rid off candle wax from wood furniture?? is there an easy way to do it??

I got wax on my dining room table and I am not sure how to take it off.....don't want to just scrub it because I will scratch the table...

any advice?? TIA!!

Re: Candle Wax on Furniture

Did you try just scraping it with your fingernail? Otherwise maybe some ice to harden it and then chip it off. I put my tart burners in the freezer for 5 minutes to get the wax out of that so ice on your table might work too.
You can also try that Orange Glo stuff, that might work too.

I would def. try that Orange Goo Gone stuff.

I've used ice with good results too--I would try that first.

Re: Candle Wax on Furniture

I got candle off the carpeting by using a newspaper and an iron over it.

I'm not sure if it would work on a wood table.

Re: Candle Wax on Furniture

put a paper bag over it & iron it lightly,,

Thanks ladies,

Will try tonight....the messed up thing is that the wax is very thin (all over the table) and not easy to take off....but I will try...

I was just watching a home show this morning and they suggested putting a hair dryer on and blowing over it. This should loosen it and then you can wipe it with a paper towel. Let me know if it works!
