  1. place a piece of paper or papertowel on top of the affected area and iron it


  2. put brown paper either side of shirt and iron , paper will absorb wax.

  3. First, try using ice cubes directly on the wax.  As it gets cold it will become brittle and you can peel some of it off.  If this does not remove all of it you then need to use paper towels and an iron.  Sandwich your garment between several layers of the paper towels and with the iron on a medium setting iron over the paper towels and fabric.  Depending on the amount, you may have to change up the towels as they get saturated with the melted wax.  Be patient with the process and  the wax will wick out of the fibers of your clothing and into the towels. If the wax is colored, you may have to spot treat after wax removal and of course you will need to launder your garments.

  4. put it in the freezer, then scrape off carefully
