RE: Candle Wax on Wood Furniture
Totally works! I used a blow dryer to warm the wax and a plastic card. Didn't haveto scrape really hard to get wax up. It lifted up in big chunks or sections. Saved me from spending money buying a professional wax remover!

Since it wasn't wax that needed to come off but the stain it left behind the suggestion about the magic eraser & alcohol worked! Thank you so much! Be ready for the finish to come off as well though. Clear varnish helped us to fix that problem.

candle wax from inside glass
I have a couple of all glass hurricane lamps and sometimes when I blow out the candles the wax splashes onto the inside of the lamp. To remove it i take out the candle and stuff the inside of the glass lamp with clean old rags or old towels. (important not to have any oil or flammable liquids on the rags). Then I put them in the microwave for about a minute and a half. The wax adheres to the rags and leaves the inside of the lamps clean.

I spilled red candle wax all over a wood table! I ironed over a paper towel and it come out! I had to repeat this a few times but it works!

I have had good luck with this 'trick' removing candle wax from carpet and wooden furniture.
Take plain brown wrapping paper like the kind used for wrapping packages for shipping. Can be bought at Walmart, mail packaging services, Target, etc.
Place several layers of paper over wax.
Take a low iron and slowly iron over the paper where the wax is.
You will see that the wax is absorbed into the paper.
Keep moving the paper around as it gets saturated with the melted wax, replacing the paper when needed, until the wax is gone from the carpet or wood.
It worked for me and I hope you have good luck too! :)

My stain was a red/purple candle dye on a light oak table and I tried several things that didn't work before this did:
Take clear rubbing alcohol, use it to wet a Mr. clean magic eraser instead of water. Rub the spot thoroughly...it took a few minutes to get up, and at first I didn't think it would work but I got the entire stain up perfectly.

Melt it carefully. In the old days, they let the furniture sit outside in the sun. That would probably do the trick.
