Wax on stone tile

I've got a wax stain on our stone balcony tiles. HOW on earth can I get rid of it? Any and all ideas gratefully received. Thanks

Don't know if it will work, but it does help lift wax - try covering with brown papaer and ironing over with a hot iron - you might be lucky.

Maybe thinners would do, on a cloth, but this could leave a white deposite- which may or may not scrub off with hot water!
Just a guess really.

Heat it up and remove.
Try a window scraper, the ones with a blade fixed at an acute angle.

I tried heat, but no luck. thinners won't work as wax isn't soluble in it. However, I've learnt that there is a product in the States called 'undu candle wax remover' which could help out. Does anybody know if there is something similar in the UK? I'll be travelling to London next week and will have a look, but a headstart would help if anybody has heard of something like 'undo' in the UK. Cheers for all your comments.....
