Put the garment in the fridge for a few minutes. Then gently scrape off the excess wax. Next, put a plain brown paper bag on your ironing board. Put the garment on top of the bag. Now put another paper bag on top of the spot and iron (on low to med setting) on top of the bag. You will see a dark spot on the paper bag. Good! Now move the paper bag under the garment to a clean spot. Move the bag on top to a clean spot. Iron again then repeat the steps until there are no more spots on the bag. Then launder as usual.

Get a brown paper bag. Put it over the area of wax you want taken off. Then get the iron out and iron the paper bag. The wax should melt off the jumper and onto the bag.
Also works on carpet for future reference!

Freeze the wax with an icecube and pick off as much as you can while it's brittle. For the remainder, put paper towels either side of the fabric where the wax is, and heat it with an iron. The wax will melt and soak into the paper.

"WAX REMOVAL...Crayon marks and candle wax can be easily removed from fabric. Place 2 folded paper towels on both sides of the stained area and press with a warm iron. The paper towels will absorb the melted wax."

use a brown paper grocery bag and a clothing iron. put the bag over the wax stain and iron it. this will melt the wax and transfer it to the paper. you will have to do it several times, each time with a fresh piece of paper, slowly but surely it will come out. patience is required. I got red candle wax out of my new black area rug this way. good luck!!!

Brown parcel wrapping paper and an warm iron. Put the brown paper over the wax then iron gently. The brown paper will soak up the wax and it will disappear... just like magic, it works every time.

Exactly what pferde said, use the hottest iron setting the garment will handle. You should be able to launder out any greasy spots in a regular wash.
In the future, try soy wax candles, they are better to burn, don't put petroleum yuck in your air, and any spills wash out with soap and water.

hi, i did the same thing but on my carpet! use a warm iron and put a sheet of kitchen towel over the wax, put the iron on it untill the wax melts and you will see it comming through the towel, then move the towel to an unused spot and repeat again, do this untill you can't see anymore wax absorbing into the towel, then wash as normal. i hope this helps hun, it did for me. good luck.

Warm (but not tooo hot) water. It'll take a while but it will reinforce the message not to spill candle wax in future.

Add more wax and tell everyone it's a "Barbor" waxed jumper and it cost you over £200 as it's a new style.
