How to Get Wax Off Clothes?

Let the wax harden completely

Scrape off excess wax with a dull knife or credit card

Place the fabric between paper towels or brown paper bags

Press with a warm iron on low heat to transfer the wax to the paper

Replace the paper and repeat until no more wax transfers

Apply a small amount of dish soap or laundry detergent to any remaining stain

Gently rub the fabric together or with a soft brush

Wash the clothing according to the care label

Check the stain before drying

Repeat the treatment if any wax remains

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

For colored wax, treat any dye stain with stain remover before washing
