Candle wax. Tips to remove Candle wax stains from clothes and fabric

Candle wax stains in your fabrics are going to be much easier to face when you freeze the fabric. Making the candle wax hard, you can pick it off with your fingers, or scrape it off using a butter knife.

To get deep stains out of your fabric, put the stained area between two thin towels and use a warm iron over the stained area. This will melt the wax out of your fabric and onto the towels. Repeat as long as you see wax still coming out of your fabric.

To remove coloring and additional wax from your fabric, put the stain side down on a hard surface and apply a few drops of dry cleaning solution. Let the fabric dry and then launder as usual.
