wax removal

Stripping hardened residue

Wax removal is the process of eliminating unwanted wax—whether from ears, floors, cars, or body hair.

In personal grooming, it typically refers to depilatory waxing: She went in for a wax removal session.

For ears, wax removal addresses cerumen buildup that can impair hearing.

The phrase sometimes appears on cleaning products for stripping wax from surfaces.
