How do I get candle wax out of a thin cotton T shirt?

Question

Without ruining it?

Answer 1

wash it in hot water

Answer 2

The first thing I'd try is to iron the shirt, with paper towels on both sides of the waxy bit.  The wax should melt and transfer onto the paper.

Answer 3

I don't know if it will work for a t-shirt, but when my son got candle wax on my couch, I covered the spot with some paper towel (about 2 or 3 thick) then ran a low-medium hot iron over the spot.  I did it a few times and it seemed to come out (the material was softer again).  I only hope it wasn't colored wax on a white shirt.  Good luck!
