Removing Red Candle Wax Stain on Hardwood Floor?

After removing the wax from the floor, there is a red stain left behind. I have tried numerous products that were recommended on this site, but none of them work.

When candle wax is spilled on anything take a brown paper bag a hot iron and hold it on there fore a second or so and the candle will transfer onto the paper bag. Keep going changing bags if you have to but it works. Good Luck

My kids like to draw and drew in red marker on a dresser. I used nail polish remover to get the red marker drawing off the dresser. I just applied nail remover onto a cotton ball and rubbed it on the marker drawing which took off all the drawing they drew on the dresser. It worked fast and did not harm the wood to my surprise. Some one told me about the nail polish remover being able to remove stains on walls markings scuffs and crayon.

I tried it and it worked so well you can't see any left over marker. Before applying to your wood floor test a spot to make sure you won't harm the floor but like I had said it worked in the wood dresser and didn't leave any red marker it cleaned the wood making it look like it did before the two artist drew there pictures on the furniture.

The finger nail polish took the finish from the wood

Whenever I spill wax on something I use a hair dryer and absorbent paper towels. Place the paper towel on the stain and blast it with the hair dryer.

The heat will melt the wax and the paper towel will absorb it.

Use a magic eraser from Mr. Clean. It's the only thing that works. You have to scrub very hard for awhile but it will take it up.

even easier is to use gojo or fast orange hand cleaner. Rub it into your towel first before scrubbing. The de-limonene in the product loosens the paraffin, that's why it's so good a degreasing hand.

Helpful hint that these products also take oil stains and such off of couches, fabric, etc.

No one here is listening. OP said it the wax was already removed and the floor has been dyed because it sat. People are answering like they need to remove the wax despite OP saying they already did that.
