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.

Q. I made a huge mess with a gigi home wax kit and theres wax all over the machine, wood cabinet, boxes, and bags. I was able to sue mayo to remove wax from my skin and from the rug but will ti also work on those toher surfaces?? I don't wnat to buy special wax remover either since it would be extremely difficult for me to get to a place to find it. Please tell me if mayo will work or if any other household objects would.

A. Apply heat to the wax and you should have no trouble at all just wiping it up.

How to get cleaning wax off of a hard woodfloor?
Q. I bought a wax for my floor thinking that it wood give it a nice shine, but that was a big mistake. I now have this visible residue that will not come off. I have tried muphy's oil and pledge multi-surface cleaner and both have not got the wax off.

A. Murphy's and Pledge are wood polishes, but only work on dirt. You need wax remover. When you go to the hardware store, go to where the wood stains are, not where the cleaners are. You should be looking for a wax remover. Formby's makes one. I've never used that, but I've used other products by them and really like it. I wouldn't use ammonia though. It's pretty strong and may damage the finish on your floor. I'm sure that it will remove the wax though :)

A. I tried using them a few years back and all I can say about that experience is OUCH! There was a lot of pain and little hair that actually was removed. make sure the hair is long enough to get stuck (about 3/4 of an inch, I think), short hairs and wax equal nothing but pain. Research to try and find the best product. If you have sensitive skin, find one with no dyes and scents. Also, do a test run before the area is going to be exposed (like going to a pool or beach wearing a bathing suit). You never know how your skin will react. Good luck and I hope it goes better for you than it did for me! P.S. I found the best way is the old fashion way, shaving cream and a razor.
