How do you remove candle wax from a mirror?

Question

I have decorative mirrors that candle wax melted on. I don't want to damage the mirrors by scraping the wax.

Answer 1

zippo fluid, it dissolves the wax without having to scrape it...

Answer 2

Take your iron set it at medium(not too hot), take thick paper and place it over wax, set iron on paper

and watch it carefully, heat from iron will suck wax into paper.

Remove quickly.

Answer 3

you can scrape it off with a razor without scratching it, I clean paint off of windows all the time and it doesn't scratch the glass.. use the razor at an angle and gently scrape it off. You can then use goo gone to get the residue off and then clean it with windex for a sparkling clean shiny back to new surface.

Answer 4

Gently with a single-edge razor blade. Or, use a sturdy rubber/plastic spatula from the kitchen.

Answer 5

Ice. (Take care not to let any moisture get onto the mirror back (silver).)

Answer 6

Turn the mirror so the "waxed" side is facing down. Set it on top of two objects so your hands a free and it's still facedown. Use your hair dryer on the wax and let it drip off when its heated. Becareful to heat over a tarp or newspaper or whatever. Clean the residue, if any, with windex. and Voila!!

Answer 7

Hair dryer and windex.... :)

hair dryer will heat the wax and melt it and just use cloth or paper towels to remove it as it melts.
