A candle melted and leaked down into my washing machine. I thought
that I had it all removed but when I washed a load of clothes, the
draining water backed up into my tub and bathroom sink. There was red
candle wax all over the place. Needless to say now my bathroom and
washing machine drain pipes are stopped up. I've used 2 bottles of
sulfuric acid and this hasn't helped. Can anyone please tell me how to
dissolve the wax that is down in the pipes or please tell me how to fix
this problem.
Thanks


For real?

Chances are that the wax particles (solids, not liquid)
combined with the usual hair/soap mess found in drains
and delivered the final blow to what was already nearly
clogged.

My vote in this situation would be for a drain cleaning
machine. You *might* get away with a canister type
which fits on a drill or is hand-powered, but I doubt it.
After that, it means a professional-size auger.
If you're a determined DIY'er, the machine can be rented.
