How do I clean the wax off my candleabras?

I can scrape off most of the major chunks with a spatula, but how do I get off the little chunks? Is there any cleaner that could disolve wax? I want it to look as shiney and pretty as the day I bought it!

    Put the candleabras in the freezer for a while - the wax breaks off easily

    If they are not too large, freeze them. Removing frozen wax is much easier, it just pops right off, even small bits.

    If there is some tiny residue left that you cannot clean off with simple rubbing, then something like Goof Off might remove it - read first to make sure it wont damage the surface though.

    i usually just soak mine in hot water until the wax is soft enough to get out with a sponge. if you don't want to soak it in hot water you can try putting it in the freezer for a while until the wax is hard into to break out of there. then you should be able to just clean it.

    You can try a hair dryer to melt the wax and then wipe it off with a paper towel.
