My niece set her blue colored candles on my pourous topped table without anything underneath them. Now I have blue colored candle stain on my table top. And it’s a major mess. Smells good though…LOL

Is there a way to get this out? Or am I out of luck? Thank you…
you can try this but no guarantees. take a towel that you care NOTHING about and a hot iron place the towel over the waxy stain and melt the wax into the towel this will absorb a great deal of the wax. there is a possibility it may take some or all of the colors out with it. If it is porous and your not afraid to sand it just a little with 160 grit paper PROVIDING IT IS NOT A VERY EXPENSIVE ANTIQUE PIECE. THEN USE SOMETHING LIKE Old English scratch remover on the top.
if you have any more questions holler back at me and I will try to help you out more if possible
I can only suggest that you take two layers of brown paper place on top of the stain and with a warm, not too (hot) iron, press the wax until most of it is absorbed onto the brown paper. When the wax is off, you could use some Murphy’s Wood Soap and a little hot water and scrub the spot clean. Using a clean soft rag, wipe the spot dry until it shines.
Good luck
or try soft paper towels they also work or should.good luck using the same method as above.
