Wax residue builds up on surfaces that have been treated with wax-based finishes, particularly cotto, terracotta, and some natural stones. Over time, multiple layers of wax accumulate, becoming yellow, uneven, and trapping dirt beneath each layer.

Step-by-step instructions

Apply Lithofin WAX-OFF undiluted. Leave 10-20 minutes. Scrub vigorously with stiff brush or pad. Remove residue with clean cloth. Rinse thoroughly. May need 2-3 applications for thick build-up. Allow to dry before re-treating or re-sealing.

Expert tips

  • Old wax may have darkened the stone underneath - this is usually reversible
  • Full wax removal is essential before applying impregnating sealer
