how to get candlewax off bedsheets?

Question

how do i get candlewax off my sheets? Can I just throw in the wash

Answer 1

I think you should soak the bed sheet it hot water and then wash it!

Answer 2

Do not put them in your washer. I also believe in the iron. Place the wax part of the sheet down on a old towel and then place the iron unto the paper sack. After doing this and repeating a few times it should come right out!

Answer 3

DON'T WASH THEM! It will only make it worse. The best way to rid candle wax from fabric is to use an iron and brown paper bags, like grocery store bags. Also do this ASAP because the wax has a grease to it that sometimes won't come completley out.

Answer 4

Put in the wash and use cold water. When done in wash, examine for residue or if wax did not come out, line dry away from heat. When dry rub an ice cube wrapped in cheese cloth on the wax, and rub it on it until it comes off. Then rub detergent on the residue and wash again in cold water.

Answer 5

put the wax part of the sheet between some paper towels and iron the spot. You might have to change the paper towels a couple of times but you wont ruin your sheets. It will all come out.

Answer 6

Ddon't throw in the wash until you get the wax off with ice cubes. Once it's cold, you can peel it off easily.

Answer 7

Use very hot water in the washing machine, should come right off.

Answer 8

I agree with the iron. My fiance uses a paper grocery bag though. I was amazed at ho well it works! We had a white carpet and someone spilled red candle wax on it, she got it right out!

Answer 9
