Candle wax on patio

7 replies

Help needed please.
Drops of candle wax fell on the patio leaving it stained with drops.
I know how to remove candle wax from fabric with iron and greaseproof paper but I can't really iron the patio. Grin
Hiw do I remove it please. The flagstones are a lively creamy colour - Indian limestone.

Boiling water?

Pick/scrape it off? Stick an ice cube on it first so out goes very brittle.

Are you our friend who goes hovers around with a damp cloth when the kids are having an ice cream in the garden, so she can wipe up any drips? WinkGrin

Nothing left to scrape off.
I'm definitely not the mum who doesn't allow her dc eat ice cream in the garden.
However I never allow them eat ice cream in the car.

boiling water should do it then if nothing left to scrape

The boiling water didn't work.

Why not try ironing the patio? Get an extension cable, an iron and tea cloth and give it a go.

Patio is in the front. The neighbours would have me sectioned Smile
