Only substance known that emits a negative ion when burned
Neutralizes positive static charges that keep contaminants airborne
Combustion creates a convection current that draws contaminants to the flame - they are deposited into the wax causing it to darken

Burlap bag method
Fill burlap sack with wax plus a brick and tie closed
Immerse in large drum of hot water with a couple of bricks in the bottom
The wax will melt and rise to the surface
