I'm going to have to try this. I wore a brand-new shirt to get my eyebrows waxed a few weeks ago and the girl dripped wax on it! I've washed it, treated it and brushed it with a toothbrush and hot water (all that did was pill up the fabric.) I have to try the hot iron and paper towel trick!

I spilled red candle wax on my white and black wool coat. Now for the paper towel and iron. Does the paper towel have to be wet or dry?

All of you just saved me 200$. I spilled wax on my sisters brand new pants. Thanks so very, very much. xoxo Brittany

This was very helpful but I didn't have iron on, so i just boiled water and held the fabric over the steam. The wax just seemed to evaporate it worked wonders. Thanx so much for the advice.

WOW! putting a papertowel on top of the wax and then ironing on low heat worked so well! I was amazed to see it go away, thanks!

Tonight I got white candle wax on my jeans, cotton shirt, and 100% cotton ribbed sweater. The low iron with the paper towel worked wonderfully with the jeans and the shirt, however, did not do very well on the ribbed sweater.

Great idea! Thanks for the help!

It didn't work for me.

Hi all-
My boyfriend spilled red candle wax all over a cotton button-up shirt. I read your postings and tried the trick of ironing over it (with a paper towel between the shirt and the iron to absorb the wax). This took the bright red out, but left what looked like huge greasy spots behind.

I then soaked those spots in "Goo Gone" (a cleaner that removes glue, sticker gunk, wax, etc) for a few minutes, washed the shirt by hand, soaked the spots again for 4-5 minutes, then washed the shirt again, and threw it in the dryer. You can't tell AT ALL. Looks brand new.

Thanks for the advice!

Worked perfect! I stained a sweater with disgusting brown wax almost a year ago, tried the ironing trick then used shout on the stain. There is NO remnants of wax. Thank you!

I used Nutrimetics Nutriclean OLC to get candle wax off my jumpers. I just rubbed it on the wax and threw them in the washing machine and it worked! If not machine washable rinse by hand.
