Candle Wax
Always read and follow the care instructions and any warnings on the garment label. And, follow the
General Rules for stain removal.
- Harden wax by rubbing with ice. Remove surface wax by carefully scraping with the dull edge of a butter knife.
- Sandwick the wax stain between folded paper towels and press with a warm (not hot) iron. Replace paper towels frequently to absorb more wax and to prevent transferring the stain. Continue as long as wax is being removed.
- Place stain face down on clean paper towels. Sponge remaining stain with a prewash stain remover or dry-cleaning fluid; blot with paper towels. Let dry, then launder. Note: If any color remains, relaunder with a bleach that is safe for the fabric.
