How do I get candle wax off a waxed floor?

Question

I accidentally spilt a can of hot candle wax onto my lovely wooden waxed floor. Is there any special way of removing this candle wax without removing the wax from the floor?

Answer 1

it should scrape off in a layer.... if not you will have to melt it off then do a patch up on your floor wax

Answer 2

Try grease proof paper over the top and iron it with a cool iron, the wax should stick to the paper without marking the floor

scrape off as much as you can without damaging the underlying floor. Then heat an iron on low-moderate heat, place paper towels over the wax spill, apply iron to paper and watch as it meltsthe wax into the paper towel.

Answer 4

warm veg oil- rub in gently and the wax should ease off. Not too much- heat some in the microwave, pour a little on and use your fingers to take largets bits of and then use a clean cloth to rub off gently.

Answer 5

try rubbing ice on the wax to make it freeze - or put a bag of frozen veggies on it - when it gets cold cold cold- scrape it off and then buff the floor with a dry cloth

that is really difficult as it has the potential to do some damage to flooring my advice to you is when you spill wax try and clear it up quickly other wise you will end up picking it up of the floor.
