Turn your iron on low and put a piece of brown paper over the stain. If more wax is going to come off, it should when you apply a little bit of heat and then stick to the brown paper.

The iron with something absorbent works REALLY well, would be better if you didn't wash it first though. If that doesn't work, the vast majority of Churches have a product for just this tucked away in a cupboard somewhere. That stuff is AMAZING! So if you can't get it out with the iron, ask around at a church if you could bring your pants there and use a little. What are they going to do say no? Its a Church.

Two things to try. Rub an ice cube over the wax until it is frozen and you should be able to pick it off. If that does not work then put the single layer on your ironing board, add a couple sheets of paper towels and put the hot iron on the paper towels. The heat should melt the wax and the paper towels will absorb it. Keep moving the paper towels until all is absorbed.

you have wax on your pant´s did you try using brown paper and a warm to hot iron, lay the paper on top of the pants, with your iron ,iron on top of the pants the heat of the iron will melt the wax onto the paper , it will take time but it should lift out, then soak in warm water and liquid soap leave for short while, give a little rub and hopefully the mark will go .rinse with cold water and drip dry, try that first before putting them in your machine

I tried everything people are telling you to do. It didn't work. A book I have said to pour boiling water through it. It didn't work either. I love my pants so before I toss them in the trash I'm going to take them to the cleaners. If they can't get it out I won't pay them and they can keep the pants. Let me know if you are able to get it out and what you used.

Don't try WD40 whatever you do. That will leave an oil stain on your pants.. which will look even worse. Best of Luck.

put a the spot between 2 pieces of brown paper bag and iron with a very warm iron. ideally this should have been done before washing! repeat with clean piece of bag if necessary.

Try WD40. It seems to be the one thing that has a million uses including cleaning all sorts of stuff.

i don't think you can do anything now that you've washed it...the stain is probably set in...
