Material	Removal Method
Wood	Harden the wax with an ice cube, then carefully scrape it off with an expired credit card or plastic ruler. Rub away remaining residue with cream furniture wax.
Glass	Scrape away excess, then apply heat with a blow dryer set to medium, wiping off wax with a rag as it softens. Wash the area with hot, soapy water to remove residue.
Painted Wall	Apply medium heat with a blow dryer and wipe away excess wax as it softens. Remove Residue with a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water.
Carpet	Scrape off excess. Lay a damp, lint free, white cloth over the wax and apply medium heat with an iron, the wax will adhere to the cloth.
Vinyl Flooring	Soak the spot wih hot water and wipe off wax with a dry cloth. Repeat until all wax is removed, then apply multipurpose remover to get rid of residue.

TIP: Rub a little olive oil on candlesticks to keep wax from sticking to holders.

TIP : Spray the inside of a votive holder with a thin coating of cooking spray before dropping in a votive. After the candle has burned down, the remaining wax will slip out.
