so i'm a moron. i started playing with a candle that was burning on my desk and all the melted candle wax spilled and made a huge mess. i wiped up some of it, but the wax was drying and things were getting really gross... scraping and scrubbing did absolutely no good. here's what worked:
- cut open an old sock
- lay it down on the candle wax
- heat up an iron (i used "cotton blend")
- set it on the sock
- wait for the wax to melt
- lift up the sock, notice that there isn't any more wax on the desk
- congrats! throw away the sock
