Hello, I spilled a citronella candle on my new patio. Is there any way to remove the dark stain?
I used a hot iron to remove most of the wax but the stain still remains. Would a power washer do the trick?

Wax can often be removed by covering with ice.
perhaps you may want to look up the definition of sperm in the dictionary. I don't think it comes from candles.
It is amazing what they put in candles these days.
Ice will freeze the wax, then just scrape it off with a putty knife or what ever tool will best take care of the size of the spill.
You could put down cat litter to absorb what has seeped in. That might possible remove the chemicals from the concrete.
Layer several pieces of kitchen paper towel or brown paper, or a terry towel rag over the wax stain. Prepare a bottle of mineral spirits and a bucket of dish detergent and warm water, at the ready. The towel rag will absorb more wax than the paper, but use what you have available. Heat an iron on a hot setting. Iron over the paper. The wax will melt underneath. Remove the heat and the paper layers. Quickly mop up the melted wax using paper towel or rags and the mineral spirits.
Remove the mineral spirits with the detergent and warm water. Mop it all up and allow to dry. Repeat if needed.
