Removing candle wax from a stone outdoor table can be tricky, but with the right approach, it’s simple and effective. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restore your table’s natural beauty.

1. Scrape Off Excess Wax: Use a plastic scraper or a credit card to gently remove as much hardened wax as possible without scratching the stone.

2. Apply Heat: Place a clean cloth over the remaining wax and gently run a warm iron over it. The heat will melt the wax, allowing the cloth to absorb it. Repeat with a fresh section of the cloth until no wax remains.

3. Use Rubbing Alcohol: For stubborn residue, dampen a soft cloth with rubbing alcohol and gently rub the affected area. This helps dissolve any leftover wax without damaging the stone.

4. Clean with Soapy Water: Once the wax is removed, wash the table with mild soap and water to eliminate any residue or cleaning agents.

5. Dry Thoroughly: Use a dry microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the stone’s finish.

For added protection, consider using a stone sealer to prevent future wax buildup. With these steps, your stone outdoor table will look as good as new!
