How to Remove Beeswax From Hardwood
- 1). Fill a plastic storage bag with ice. Close the bag securely.
- 2). Wrap the ice filled bag in a washcloth or other clean rag.
- 3). Lay the ice on the beeswax spill. Let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes. The time depends on how large the spill is. If only a few drops of beeswax is present, the time can be shortened to less than a minute.
- 4). Remove the ice. Make sure the beeswax is thoroughly hardened. You can do this with your fingernail or with the tip of the butter knife. If either slides into the wax easily, reapply the ice. Try again in another minute or two.
- 5). Gently slide the butter knife or plastic scrapper beneath the hardened wax once it is frozen. The wax should cleanly lift from the surface of the hardwood.
