Removing wax from clothes and other fabrics

1. If possible put the stained material in the refrigerator to cool the wax. Once the wax is cool, remove as much as possible by scraping it.

2. Put the material on an ironing board. Put brown paper bag material underneath the stain and over the stain. You'll want several layers of the paper.

3. Apply a medium heat iron to the paper that is covering the wax.

4. The max should began to melt and flow into the paper. Move the paper around as needed to keep non-waxy paper in contact with the stain. Make sure that the wax does not come through the paper and touch the iron, since this can then transfer wax to other clothes later.

It may take several passes, but this should result in getting all of the wax out of the material
