How to Clean Wax Off of Stove Top Elements

Dripping wax on a stove burner can create a clumpy mess that will melt and wreak havoc on your appliance if you turn the burner on. You can break away large chunks of wax when necessary, but removing film and thinner components requires a gentle touch. Remove the wax gradually to avoid damaging the element's surface.
