How to clean wax off flagstone patio?
by Stephanie

I knocked over a citronella bucket style candle. I sopped up as much wax as I could with paper towels and then it got ignored for a while so now it's dirty wax. I've tried Goof Off, soap & water and Comet but it's not budging. I haven't tried re-heating the area and scrubbing. I'm disabled so getting on my hands and knees is not impossible but not a good option. Thanks so much!

I'm afraid heating it up is really the only way to go . Melting it and sopping it up with paper towels . But don't hurt yourself . Sit on a stool or bucket , set the blow dryer on high heat and when the wax starts melting , sop it up with a paper towel you're moving around with your foot. Good luck ! -

Try Carbona wax & makeup remover, available at grocery stores, laundry isle.OR - put ice on it and chip away! -

Try ice to harden then break up as much as possible, then try heat as suggested.
