How can I get candle wax off my dark brown, Trex deck?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:“Use a putty knife to remove the bulk of the wax. Then you can apply hot soapy water and blot it up. You might try a wax and grease remover. But first try it on a small inconspicuous area to assure there will not be any discoloration. We have had the best luck with our steam cleaner. Hot water and a little pressure will do wonders.” American Deck Maintenance
