On Thursday morningthe last day of Hanukkahwe received the following query from reader Daniel S. Palmer: How do you get those last pesky bits of wax off your menorah?
We felt that this was a matter of some importance (if not urgencyafter all, Hanukkah and Hannukiahs have been around for a couple thousand years), so we put the question to Tablets readers on Facebook and Twitter. The most popular methods were freezing, boiling, and baking in the oven (!), but there were also some nifty pre-lighting tips too.
In summary, heres what you can do after Hanukkah:
Freeze your menorah, and the wax pops right out. Lori Ellison

Also, not that anyone asked, but to get melted wax off a tablecloth or clothing, take some blank newsprint paper, put it on either side of the material, and use an iron to melt and transfer it from the fabric to the paper. You're welcome!
