Marble Table

Monday, January 10th, 2011

How do you get melted wax out of a marble table top?

I left a candle outside on our marble table the other night. Of course the next summer day the candle melted and now there is a visible stain where the wax puddle was. Any ideas?

Wax can be removed several ways, freezing 4 one.

BUT, I think your problem is the stain.
Marble is very absorbent and may have absorbed some wax.

You need a "poultice", made from stone, which is available at HomeDepot, Lowes, or a marble or stone retailer.
Spread the "poultice" over the stain, cover with a plastic sheet.
The wax stain will be absorbed by the "poultice".

Good luck.
