For the most part it worked but still had to go back and repaint the wall from the stain.

Answers: RE: Removing Candle Wax from Wall First, scrape off as much of the wax as possible. Then put a few layers of white paper towels then a layer of foil over the spots and iron with a clothes iron. The heat from the iron should help melt the wax which will then be absorbed by the paper towel. You may need a helper to keep everything in place while ironing.

(12/19/2004) By JoD RE: Removing Candle Wax from Wall You should use a hair dryer on the highest setting and have a damp towel to wipe the running wax. (02/06/2005) By TinaB RE: Removing Candle Wax from Wall I have a red wax stain on the tile board in my bathroom. I have scraped the wax off, but the red stains are still there. We've tried Comet, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, a vinegar solution, and a phosphoric acid cleaner. Any other suggestions? Or is it time to consider them permanent additions to our bathroom?

Hold blow dryer on high next to wax and wipe with paper towel. Comes right off. (12/31/2005) By Gloria RE: Removing Candle Wax from Wall HELP!

(03/31/2006) By Rebecca RE: Removing Candle Wax microwave You can put a little cooking oil in the microwave and wipe it really hard with a paper towel. For the plate in the microwave try putting a small towel on top and iron it the wax should stick to the cloth. (09/11/2006) By nemo RE: Removing Candle Wax from Wall Scrape off all the wax you can, and then take sandpaper to it to remove the color. After that if you have any extra paint that matches you should be able to touch it up, if not just paint over the whole wall. Editor's Note: You can try the iron and paper bag or paper towel trick also. If you paint over the area, make sure ALL of the wax is gone or the paint won't stick.
