how do you get candel wax out of cloth?

Answer 1

There are a couple of ways: #1 you can purchase a candle wax remover that comes with a scraper; or #2, and the fastest way -- put a couple of layers of paper towels on the cloth and then use a moderately low heated Iron. The iron will melt the wax and the paper towel will absorbe it. You can use as much heat as you want, just not too high to set the paper towel on "fire". LOL It works! You can also do this with carpet should you have a candle accident there also.

Answer 2

The best way is to get an iron, place a couple of layers of papertowels on the wax then iron the papertowels. Make sure you have the iron hot enough to melt the wax and the paper towel will pull the wax out of the cloth. Move the papertowels after a second or two to make sure that it is working...dont leave it on too long or you may burn the cloth. You may have to do this several times depending on how big the wax "stain" is.

Good luck

Answer 3

cover the spot of wax with a paper grocery bag and use a very hot iron...no steam, just the heat setting...iron it away...the wax will transfer to the paper and then you can launder as usual...it may take more than one try and move the paper around until you get all of the wax ironed up...if it's delicate fabric, you can put it in the freezer and let it come up out of the fabric that way and then launder it clean after...

Answer 4

There is a really increidible cleaning solution called "goof off."
It removes candle wax, marker, crayon, glue, sticker adhesive, ect. But ive only used it on hard surfaces, i think it should work on cloth though. Try putting some on the inside corner of the cloth or something to see if it damages it at all.

If you do use it : It smells pretty strong, and watch out, throw out the paper towel, tissue, watever you cleaned it with in a plastic bag, I threw mine out and it melted the side of my plastic trash can cause of the acidic stuff probably.

Hope you get the wax out!

Answer 5

Lay a papertowel of the wax stain and then run an iron set at a low temperature over it. The wax should heat up and and transfer to the papertowel.

Answer 6

Place the cloth between to sheets of paper. I would use a cut up brown paper bag. Then use a hot iron on the paper to melt the wax. Wax should be soaked up by the brown paper bag.

Answer 7

You can easily stick the cloth in the freezer. The candle wax will freeze and you will easily be able to pick it right off the material.

Answer 8

You can use a warm iron, with an absorbing cloth or paper towel even, and then a piece of paper on top of that before you put the iron to it.

Answer 9

take a handkerchief and place it over the wax and heat the handkerchief up with an iron

Answer 10

maybe use a hairdryer....next time....lay an "Old" towel on the bed before dripping hot wax on each other.
