Having a candle-lit dinner can be a romantic affair and create a lovely atmosphere. However, if you don’t take proper precautions, you may end up with wax dripping down the sides onto your glass coffee table. Removing wax from a glass surface can be tricky, but there are a few techniques you can use to get rid of those wax stains.

Step by Step Guide:

- Scrape Away the Wax: Use a blunt tool such as a credit card, flat surface plastic spatula, butterknife, putty knife, or a scrubbing cloth to scrape away the wax from the surface.
- Clean Up the Residue: To ensure all the wax is removed, use a damp paper towel to wipe the remaining wax-residue away.
