I got dark green wax on a blue, purple, and neon yellow hoodie. The worst of it is on the neon yellow and I have no clue how to fix it. I scraped the wax off and blotted the remaining wax out, but there's very large stains of the green colour still.
I tried OxiClean and a baking one - Dawn - peroxide mix, but it didn't eliminate the stains. Is there a way to fix it? Or a way to maybe cover the stains up with dye or something? They're very noticeable as is.You say you have scraped away the wax and now you're left with a bad stain/spot and also tried a couple of solutions.
I'm not sure what you mean by "a baking one - Dawn - peroxide mix'" but I hope it was not some sort of heat that may have 'set' the stain.
Most recommendations are as follows:
1.) You will need an iron and a brown bag.
Place a brown paper bag over the spot and iron over the spot.
Iron the bag over the wax, and the wax will transfer to the bag. Keep doing this with clean spots on the bag until all the wax is completely gone.
Soak with Dawn solution overnight and wash garment as usual. Do not place garment in dryer until all stain is gone.
2.) Place a towel on counter and lay garment on top; use a couple of paper towel over the spot and iron over the spot - replacing paper towels as needed.

Even if you scrape the wax off of the item it still remain in the thread. In order to get all the way out you need some old newspaper and a old iron to do this one with. You will need to place the paper over the stain and iron it. You will see the wax paper on the newspaper.
How do I remove candle wax and dye stains from a North Face girl's jacket?
I had a doll's beige sleeve next to a red candle and the sleeve is now pink. Is there any way to remove the absorbed "wax" from the sleeve.
This is not really wax, just the red coloring changing the coloring.
Place a dishcloth or a towel under the item of clothing or tablecloth, then put two paper towels over the top of the wax stain. Set an iron at a low to medium heat and iron over the area.
I splashed hot wax on my North Face fleece. It landed mostly on the nylon part. What do I do?

The best I could help you with is suggesting to use the hair dryer on it first. Hold it and scrape with a non-sharp knife or finger nail.
My daughter in law brought me the baby's fleece blanket I had just made the baby and a candle had tipped over, splashing hot wax all over it.
I suggest using a paper bag which you would put on the material and then iron over the bag..the wax should come off on the bag and off your fleece; with fleece it might take a couple of bags (use a big bag and move it around as the wax gets on it, then use a clean spot) to do the trick but this works great for most materials. You may end up with a little spot, but if you do get a little cute iron on patch at your dollar store and cover it up; you should be good to go! good luck from Nancy in Prince Edward island Canada!
You can usually get rid of wax by scraping off as much as you can and then using a press cloth of paper towels and iron the residue with a very low iron. In the end you be left with a grease spot which should respond to spot remover for oily stains.
I had my martial arts belt (silk like material) left in the trunk of my car with several candles. The candles melted and my white belt is now purple, can I get it out even if it's been in there for several months.
Help me get my white belt white again.In order to get the extra wax out, you first scrape off what you can. Then you take an iron at a low setting, put a piece of brown or wax paper between the heated iron and your belt, and that should do it. If you don't have an iron, you can put the belt in the frezer so that the wax becomes brittle, then remove all the wax you can, then put the belt in boiling water to get at the rest.
