I accidentlly spilled candle wax on my blouse, and I don't know if I should put it in the washer. Is there anything I need to do to it, can i go ahead and wash it, or is it done? What?

Not sure about a blouse. I do know a trick to get wax out of a carpet so maybe it would work on a blouse.
Wet a towel (not a paper towel but a real towel or wash cloth) and then squeeze a good amount of the water out (it shouldn't be dripping wet just good and damp). Then put the towel over the wax spot and iron over the towel with a hot iron.
When done on a carpet the heat liquefies the wax and then it sucks up out of the carpet into the towel. I have done this myself and it's pretty damn cool actually. Then if any wax color is left in the blouse try using Shout on it and then wash it.
Freezing it could work also but it won't work very well if the wax soaked into the fabric. Freezing works better when it's just on the surface.

First get some ice cubes and rub that over the candle wax to make it extremely difficult. Then take a pointy knife and heavily scrape as many of the wax off as available. If there continues to be some residue then positioned the iron on to warmth up and get some brown paper. position brown paper on both part of the textile and run the iron over it gently. save transferring the brown paper round each and every time once you've ironed till all the wax has been absorbed via the paper. then you absolutely can wash the garments as generic. desire this helps!

Don't wash it. First, put it in the freezer (yes, the freezer) for about 20 minutes. When you take it out the was should come right off. Then you can wash it. No offense to one of the people above, but DON'T use the ironing method. That could spread and deepen the stain.

Hmmm hope you didn't get burned. Put the blouse in the freezer for about 20 or 30 minutes and it should peel off. after that, and only after that, it can be tossed in the washer.

Try an ice cube then pick off the wax and use a spot remover on it, good luck

The ironing method works - but don't use wax paper!! Use something absorbant like toilet paper or kitchen towel.
