Great idea with the steam mop Joe! i.e. mopping up the hall way, that will defo get you some browny points! :) plus, those steam mops are pretty light weight to carry about.

Like Derek said, white spirit works great on small candle wax spots once u have scrapped off the excess.
I done a night shift on monday night, it was for bar/gastro. Loads of upholstery. 30 modern wing back chairs, 16 beanches (with back rest thingy), 4 large two seater sofas and loads of cusions.
They  where all scattered with candle wax! lots of wee spits of candle wax. The largest spot was the size of a 20 pence. I used white spirit to great effect :)

Isnt it easier to just put a couple of sheets down on the floor so you don't make footprints?!? ::)

Not all surfaces m,ight be suited to a steam mop, you could eventually end up with a claim on your hands
