Freeze the wax by applying ice and allowing to set for 5-15 minutes. Scrape off the now brittle wax. For scraping, you can use a razor blade such as the ones used during installation. Be careful not to injure yourself (it's rather difficult to scratch granite, but use caution.)
If all of the wax is gone, use mild detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) in water and clean the counter-top.
If a film or residue remains, use warm to hot water with the detergent or a non-abrasive cleaner that is safe for your counter-top.
If a residue remains that is particularly difficult to remove, GooGone has shown great success and is safe for most granite counter-tops. To be certain, check with your manufacturer.
For an unsealed counter-top, if it is light in color and/or the wax has left a colored stain, use a poultice to draw the stain out. Hydrogen peroxide with baby powder as the absorbing agent works well. Mix to a thick paste, apply to the stain approximately 1/4 inch thick and let set until completely dry. Remove the baby powder, wipe with a damp rag. Reapply if necessary. (This can also apply to a counter-top that has not been properly resealed.)
As always, it is best to check with your manufacturer for their recommendations prior to attempting any stain removal.
I found that, after carefully scraping what wax is possible, the best product to remove the wax is hand cleaner from the auto parts store. It is slightly abrasive such that I applied 409 Granite cleaner before and after the "Gojo" (aka Goop).

As long as marble is heat-safe, I would place a couple of paper towels on top of the wax and run a clothes-iron over them. The heat from the iron should melt the wax and soak into the paper towel.
This is a fairly frequent occurrence in homes, especially on mantle pieces and kitchen countertops where people place scented candles. They often leave them there for an extended period of time which causes it to drip over onto the countertop.
If the candle wax has been there for just three days to a week you shouldn't have any problem removing it with a simple butter knife and some rags doused in hot water.
However, if the candle wax has been sitting for an extended period of time it will be quite more difficult to remove. A good natural product that should not damage your tiles (unless the print is painted on which is rare) is apple cider vinegar. Because of the acidity of apple cider vinegar if you leave it on for approximately 20 to 45 minutes you will find it much easier to scrape off the candle wax.
Another method is to simply use a fire source like a cigarette lighter or the bottom of a heated up pan. This will re-heat the candle wax causing it to change back to a liquid form allowing you to easily wipe it away.
I would say to reheat the wax and then wipe it away.
Scraping off the majority, then scrubbing with hot water, followed up by a normal porcelain cleaner has worked for me
A razor blade or similar sharp edge usually works well if you try to get it under an edge of the glue..
not candle wax but the wax that you can put wax warmer it was spilled
The wax that is burnt off for light or decoration of a candle
If you place the silver candle holder into the freezer for an hour or more, the wax will chip right off.
Scrape it off.
what you do is you boil a plant and the wax rises to the surface of the water
because, when the wax is lit it burns off as a vapor, when the candle was extinguished the wax vapor was still in the air, and the wax acts as fuel for the flame of a candle, so the flame combusted and lit the vapor, leading back to the candle wick.
Clean with alcohol.
The candle wax is an insulator.
Very carefully. Granite is such a wide variety of stones, it is impossible to tell what cleaning product will damage a particular stone. Try any product on a scrap of the same type before using.
Use a blow dryer to heat the wax and a clean cotten rag to wipe it off.
Candle wax is the fuel a candle uses to keep burning. So, I guess the effect of the wax is the candle keeps burning.
Candle wax are generally organic compounds. melting of candle wax is a physical property
