Wash with warm water and dish soap. Then rinse.
Except that doesn't work,at least on apples. You can scrub with soapy water and then scrape a knife across the skin and remove vaste amounts of wax still.
Something like steel wool MIGHT work or an abrasive cleaning pad such as a "greenie" perhaps. The wax on an apple IS NOT water soluable.
About the only foodsafe method is to peel them. The wax or vegetable oil coating commercially grown and sold apples keeps the apples fresher, longer, and prevents mold and decay (but, in my opinion, traps dirt and other contaminants), but since neither coating is water soluble, washing it off, even with soap (not recommended) or a brush, is pretty much impossible without destroying the apple. Blanching the apple in boiling water for a minute or two may remove some or all of the coating, but pretty much ruins the apple for anything that doesn't involve further cooking.
You could probably cut into it with a knife and peel it off. I prefer to use a cheese slicer. The latter does cut off part of the cheese, though.
Rub it on your sleeve!
it is the natural wax .
No, Apple Computers do not have a layer of wax on them. Apples, the fruit, however, do.
wax paper's apple will lie longer
There is a natural wax on apples but after harvest apples are washed and brushed to remove leaves and field dirt before they are packed in cartons for shipping. This cleaning process removes the fruit's original wax coating. Without wax, fruits and vegetables like apples lose their crispness and moisture through normal respiration and transpiration - eventually leaving them soft and dry. A food grade wax is sprayed on apples to keep them shiny (for cosmetic purposes) and to protect the fruit.
It's a natural wax (and, of course, non-petroleum based) called carnauba wax. It's common to use wax in various foods including cheese and chocolate. The reason apples are waxed is not cosmetic; it helps it keep firm and juicy, and will also keep bacteria from easily penetrating the apple. The apple will live longer, stay fresher and firmer. Basically, the carnauba is a replacement for the apple's natural wax, which is washed off when the producers clean it. It keeps the good stuff in, and the bad stuff out.
put more wax on to wax it off
put more wax on to wax it off
Wax on, Wax off is how Mr. Myagi taught Daniel how to do a circle block. The block is one of the cornerstones of Okinawa karate.

take off the wax and rewax it
