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
