How to Get Wax Off 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

Use a warm iron on low heat over the paper towel

Move the paper towel as wax transfers to it

Repeat with clean paper until no more wax lifts

Apply stain remover or dish soap to any remaining residue

Wash the fabric according to its care label

Check the stain before drying

Repeat the process if needed before using heat again

For delicate fabrics, use a hair dryer on low or consult a dry cleaner
