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



Sounds trollish.


Yes, how did a candle melt and leak down into a washing machine, then how
did the melted wax get from the washing machine into the drain? At some
point it would have solidified in place long before it got into a drain.
