Wax refers to beeswax or another substance with similar properties. The traditional meaning, beeswax, refers to a substance secreted by bees and used by them in constructing their honeycombs. The term has come to refer more generally to a class of substances with properties similar to beeswax, enumerated below:

Waxes may be natural secretions of plants or animals, artificially produced by purification from natural petroleum or completely synthetic. In addition to beeswax, carnauba (a plant epicuticular wax) and paraffin (a petroleum wax) are commonly encountered waxes which occur naturally. Earwax is an oily substance found in the human ear. Some artificial materials such as silicone wax that exhibit similar properties are also described as wax or waxy.

Commercial honeycomb foundation, made by pressing beeswax between patterned metal rollers.

How can remove wax from my white wall?
Q. I had this candle wax that i figured I'd use in the bathroom for incense. I placed it on the top of the toilet and it leaned back a little. Not realizing when the wax melted it drizzled all the way down the back of the toilet, sliding down the wall on to the floor. I know you can scrape up dried wax but how do I get it off my white wall without damaging the wall and paint. This is a brand new house and I don't wanna have to have them repaint it 4 sum wax.
Asked by KARMA R - Wed Jul 5 08:26:36 2006 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Try using an old piece of cloth (sheet etc.) or a heavy duty paper towel ( careful not to burn) have someone hold it against the wall covering the area while you hold a hot iron on it...( do not rub) lift it off reapply with a clean cloth and repeat.

How can I remove wax (hair removal wax, not candle wax) from carpet?
Q. I have a HUGE puddle of wax on my carpet from my wax pot leaking. Does any one know how to get it out? If I google it, I can only find solutions for removing candle wax, not hair-removal-wax. Thank you in advance for any help!
Asked by anetbt - Sat Feb 10 07:35:28 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Wet towel and a hot iron. Make sure it's a towel you don't want. Try to use a white or light colored one so that dye won't fade on to the carpet also. Good Luck.

How do you remove wax from carpet?
Q. I spilled some wax from a burning candle on my indoor/outdoor carpet. The wax dried and left a cloudy white reisdue. I've tried to scrape it off, but it's not working very well. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Asked by missevav - Fri Aug 31 23:11:23 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1.Put ice cubes in a plastic bag and cover the wax until it hardens. 2.Gently scrape the excess using a spatula or a spoon. 3.Set your iron on low heat (you can also use a hairdryer). Place a brown paper bag without any writing or designs (the ink may transfer to the carpet) over the stain. Press the iron on the bag for no longer than a couple of seconds. Keep iron heat low so carpet fibers don't get scorched. 4.Repeat and replace the bag as necessary until the wax no longer transfers to the paper when heated. these next steps are for colored wax only: It should be noted that if the wax is colored, it may stain your carpet. Anytime you apply heat to a stain, it causes the stain to lock into the fibers leaving you with a permanent reminder… [cont.]
