try to pick it off with a butter knife. its usually fairly easy to get off. stay away from strong cleaners because it will take away the stain on your dresser. try some ol' soap, water and elbow grease.

Answer 4

Dental Floss

Take a long strand of dental floss, slide it under/between the wax and the flat surface of the dresser and peel it off

Take a damp sponge and remove the excess wax...

Otherwise, take a rag place it atop the wax, IRON for 15 seconds and then lift...go back with the damp sponge to clean up the residue.

Answer 5

Let it dry and it should peel right off.

Answer 6

Its very difficult to remove. If you got the big chunks off, you can try and scrape it if your not too worried about the finish. I have heard that a product called Goo Gone works well but I cannot validate it. What type of material is the dresser? Is it a hardwood, veneer top, or particle board with a laminate on the surface? If it is a hardwood or veneer, you may have to sand down the top and apply a new coat of sealer.

Answer 7

Take an ice cube and run it over the wax....getting it really cold. It should break away clean.
