How do you get wax from a candle out of clothes?

Question

I spilled wax all down the front of my shirt and pants are they destroyed?

Answer 1

don't worry, when the wax is cool, it will harden
and u can just peel the wax off

Answer 2

Newspaper, paper towels or paper bag over the wax and apply an iron on it to melt the wax. Move to clean spot on paper after it melts.Blot and move. Do it until wax is gone. CAUTION: clean your iron well after use or you'll transfer the wax to other clothing.

Answer 3

I'm gonna go with the hot iron, but make sure you put paper towels or news papers or whatever you're using, over the wax and UNDER it too, so it won't melt and transfer to the other side of your clothes.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Try applying ice directly on the items until the wax hardens and then you can peel it off. Hopefully this will work out well for you. Best of luck!

Answer 6

Paper towel and a WARM iron. Depending upon fabric how much heat. Wax melts and gets absorbed by paper towels,, ;-)=

Answer 7

If it's a dark color, it's going to be harder. I heard where ice cubes harden the wax and it peels off, but I'm not sure. Go to "Helpful Hints" from Heloise. (google). She's got loads of them!

Answer 8

U can put a piece of paper on them and iron the clothes, it will melt and stick on the paper... They'll be as good as new...

Answer 9
