Is there anyone who might be able to assist me?
How do you take candle wax off of clothes? Please help



justme27 -> RE: candle wax (7/14/2008 9:57:00 AM)

i think you need wax paper and a warm iron



Aileen1968 -> RE: candle wax (7/14/2008 10:01:00 AM)

Wax paper won't absorb the wax ( I don't think).  I'd use brown paper bags instead with the iron.  Place it on top of the wax and iron.  Replace the paper frequently until all of the wax is gone.

yes, the warm iron is good.  but FIRST put the item in the freezer.  getting the wax good and cold, you can use a dull knife to scrape off as much wax as you possibly can before using the iron treatment.

after you do that, use a good fabric pre-treater, wash in as warm water as you can for the fabric type, and DO NOT PUT IN THE DRYER!!!!  put the clothing on a hanger and air-dry it.  the dryer will set the waxy stain if you havent gotten it all the way out.  this way, you can treat it again and get more of the stain out if you need to.

hope that helps
