My grandson knocked over an electric wax warmer and some wax got on the wall. It is a slightly textured wall. How do I get it off?

    Take some paper towels, several thick. Hold it over the wax. With a warm iron press the area. Keep changing out the towels as it absorbs the wax. Once the wax is removed you can then scrub the area with soap and a sponge to get the last bit of oils off the wall.

    I would try a blow dryer and a terry cloth towel to wipe off as it softens. Then if there is still some left maybe a piece of flexible plastic like a thin credit card to scrape any remaining wax.

    Blow dryer works really well! I do this everywhere my candles drip wax :)
