Tim,
Do you have any advice to help remove wax that was spilled on our deck? I've used a high-power hose and scrubbed to no avail. Is there any product that will help remove it?
Thanks,
Michele

Michele,
Most candle waxes are grease based. I have had pretty good luck by boiling water and pouring it on the wood to raise the temp of the wax up as high as possible. While still pouring hot water slowly, I then mix with it regular liquid Dawn dish soap. Using a stiff brush with nylon bristles, I scrub. The person who is helping pour the water needs to be very careful they do not splash or get the water on you causing a burn.
Do this several times and you may succeed. The soap really works to emulsify the candle grease and move it off the deck.
