The easiest way is to heat it and here's how.

Lay a paper towel over the hardened wax. Place a hot iron on top and move it over the paper towel. The heat will melt the wax and the paper towel will absorb it. Repeat as necessary until all the wax is gone.

You can keep using the same paper towel over and over, but if it gets too full of wax, grab a fresh one.

This method also works on wax spills on carpeting, tablecloths, counters, etc.

Alternatively, you could freeze the wax on your fireplace surround using ice cubes, then chip it off since the marble shouldn't scratch but the heat method is faster and easier with less mess.

If it's a small area, pour very hot water onto it which will soften it, then use a wooden or plastic implement to slide the wax off. Put cloths around the area first so the water doesn't cascade all over the floor! If it's a larger area of thinly spread wax, it's easier to use a nylon scourer (this shouldn't scratch the surface) dipped into very hot water and detergent.

Scrape all the excess away & then try some wax stripper, apply & let sit for a while then rinse & see if that helps
