How do I remove spilled wax from a citronella candle off my concrete patio? There is a section that has a thin coat of wax but there are also spots that look wet but isn't. It feels a little oily. Just washing it with a hose didn't remove it.

Try heating it up with an iron or hair dryer and as soon as it is liquid, blot it up with paper towels. Remember, concrete is pourous, so some of the wax got into the surface (although I doubt it got very far before it solidified).
