I spilled hot wax on my shirt and it is still on there after I washed the shirt?

Take a piece of white paper, even a corner of a newspaper will do...no print should be on it! Then place the paper on the spot with the wax, and iron it. The wax will melt and the paper will absorb it. Do this till it is completely gone.

Getting Wax Off Clothes

With an Iron, put paper towels over the wax and run the iron over the paper towel. Keep moving the towel as it will soak up the wax. Just keep doing this until all the wax is removed.

put your shirt in the freezer for a few hours, allow it to freeze, then try and remove the wax. (i know this sounds absurd, but it will help keep the wax from breaking apart)

put some papertown over it and iron over the paper towel. I wouldn't put the iron on too hot so you don't burn anything. The wax will melt and be soaked up by the paper towel. It really works!

Use ice or put the clothing in the freezer. After the wax freezes it will be much easier to remove it.

I answer this about once a day. Wal-Mart sells a product in their cleaning section called: De-Solv-It Citrus Solution. They claim it will take out candle was, I have never tried it for that, but it has worked great on what I have used it on. Again, they say it will work. It is guaranteed or your money back.
