How to Get Rid of Wax on Fabric?

Let the wax harden completely

Scrape off excess wax with a dull knife or credit card

Place a paper towel or brown paper bag over the wax stain

Run a warm iron over the paper towel briefly to melt and absorb the wax

Replace the paper towel as wax transfers

Repeat until no more wax lifts out

Wash the fabric according to the care label

Check the stain before drying

Repeat treatment if any wax remains

For delicate fabrics, use a hair dryer on low heat instead of an iron

For colored wax residue, treat the area with a stain remover before washing
