Anyone know...

how to get wax off a glass top table?  It got so hot here a few weeks ago that two citronella candles boiled over on our patio table.  Now the wax is everywhere.  We tried a hose stream, dishsoap, a razor, Windex, and Simple Green cleaner.  Any other ideas?

    Reheat and wipe off once you've chipped most of it off.You can also try GooGone, I think it should help get any left over residue as well.

    Oh! Ask StarAnnice how she got crayon off her window. I think it was Magic Eraser.

    Haha!  Crayon on a window... my kid will never do that, right?  RIGHT?!?!

     

    We'll try reheating it.  I don't think the magic eraser will work, but I can always try... have a few of em laying around.

    If heat doesn't work, I'd try to figure out how to freeze it. The only way I can think to do it is put a bowl of ice upside down over the wax (like trap the ice on around the wax with the bowl). Then let it sit there for a while, and if it gets cold enough, the wax should pop right off. I think the heat will work, though.

    Yeah, I'd only try it for any residue, not for clumps of wax. KWIM?

    Ah yes, will definitely try it on the residue if we get to that point.  And I honestly never thought of freezing it either.  But then again, I didn't think that 100+ weather would boil over candles.

    Try freezing it with an ice-cube/ice pack. Wax gets really brittle when it's cold and will usually break off of whatever it's stuck to.
