I have tried to put boiling water on it. I have tried the iron and paper towels. This is my favorite jacket, and do not want to get rid of it.

Is there room to put your jacket in the freezer? If so let the wax harden and then take your fingernail and pick the wax off. If there is still alittle on it go and buy a solution called be gone and it should take it all off. You should be able to buy Be Gone at walmarts; Riteaids:or any larger grocer store. Good Luck to you and your jacket!

I did the same thing to my favorite pair of jeans once, splattered all the way down the leg. I got it out by putting the stained area between two pieces of brown paper bag and ironing until the paper had absorbed the wax and oils. Then launder on the hottest temp safe for the fabric.
You might have a stain if the candle was a dark color.

Did you try an iron with wax paper? I see that you used a paper towel but thats not going to stick to the wax. wax paper should do the trick. ive used this to get wax out of my carpet. If that doesnt work try putting it in the freezer then scrape it off.

Have it dry cleaned. It should take the wax right out. Only problem there would be is if the wax had a strong dye in it that cannot be removed. Good luck!

positioned the pants interior the freezer. while the wax is tough, scrape off what you are able to. Then, positioned paper towels on the two sides of the fabric. Use an iron to soften the wax onto the paper and save utilising sparkling paper till not extra wax comes off.

A dry cleaner then. The oils from the wax are probably leaving a stain.

Have you tried freezing it and then cracking the wax pieces to remove?

freeze it and scrape off all the wax you can see , then try ironing it again. if all else is lost, sew a colorful patch over it.
