How do you get wax off of a hard surface?


Question:Does anyone know how to get wax off a hard surface? I'm trying to get it off Corian and tile, and it just won't budge.

I've already tried the newspaper and iron method and that seems to only work with fabrics and carpet. Any suggestions?

Answers:
Use a metal spackle knife. First, put ice on the wax to harden it; then scrape with the spackle knife. If there are remnants of color after you've removed the wax, try the iron and brown paper again or something like Goo-Be-Gone.

corian is pretty tough ,how about scraping it off,I would say heat it up just a touch and scrape ..Cant think of any other way..
Ice and a butter knife..
Heat or a stripping pad is the only thing I can think of.
get a spatula..like one youd use to flip eggs and use it..
try the iron method again..only this time try a old towel ontop of the wax...
this will work
if the surface is hard and flat enough, try using a razor blade (utility style) to scrape it off.
blow dryer and dry clean rag..blow heat to damaged area & wipe..good luck..
