First, scrape off as much wax as you can using a plastic lifter, the kind you use on Teflon pans. If there are indentations in the wood, use a smaller tool, even a wooden toothpick for small spaces. Try not to use metal utensils which will damage the wood. Once you have removed as much wax as possible using this method, remove the rest with hot water and soap. Fill a bowl with the hottest water you can tolerate using rubber gloves. Dip a cloth in the water and wring out the cloth before applying it to the wood. The heat in the cloth will melt the wax into the cloth. Keep doing this until the wax is gone. Dry the wood immediately with a dry cloth. When the wood is completely dry, apply a coating of oil or furniture polish depending on what type of finish is already on the mantle. If the mantle had a varathane coating, the oil or funiture polish won't be necessary. Dump the water from the bowl outside to keep the wax out of your drains. - Dave.

How do you get red dye from a red candle off of a typical concrete apartment wall?

This is a tough one, but the best method is using a paper towel. Heat an iron to medium hot and then place a piece of paper toweling over the red candle stain and place the iron on top for approx. 15 seconds. You will usually see the red seeping through onto the paper toweling. You may have to do this several times. Then you can use "Dawn dish soap" with hot water and use a tooth brush (if the candle spot is small) or a larger brush to scrub the area to get any excess off. The method of the iron and paper towel are excellent to get candle wax off of carpeting as well.
