How to Get Wax Out of Clothes

Hello Everyone!

I’m here to save your life, we all least your clothes! One unfortunate reality is that at some point hot wax will splash onto your clothes. Maybe it’ll be Thanksgiving, or a tipped over pillar candle. Maybe someone blows out a candle near you with way too much force, or you do it yourself. Maybe, you’ll be making a candle and splatter the melted wax from the stove down the front of you like I did. However the incident occurs, you’ve now got a ruined article of clothing. Or you did, until now.

There is actually a very easy way to remove wax from your clothes. First off, don’t panic. Allow the wax to dry completely. Then lay it out on an ironing board, you may want to put a towel in between the front and back if the fabric is thin. Set your iron to the appropriate heat for the garment and place a clean paper towel between the clothing and the iron. Use the iron to heat the wax. It will cling to the paper towel. When you see a damp spot on the paper towel you know it’s working. Use a clean paper towel for each spot to avoid re melting the wax into your clothes. When the wax is up, wash like normal. Don’t dry the garment in a dryer until you’ve made certain all the wax is out of it.
