Answer 4

put newspaper over the area and then iron over the newspaper

Answer 5

Ice/Dry Ice

Answer 6

Stick the clothes in the freezer for a few hours and the wax will br frozen hard and you will either be able to peel it off or crack it off. It has worked for me everytime.

Answer 7

First apply ice to the wax to get it to freeze. Scrape off as much of the wax as possible with a butter knife or other blunt instrument. Do this to both sides of the garment, then heat your iron to a low temperature. Set on "dry", do not steam. Place the garment on a flat surface with paper towels on both sides of the stain, and gently heat the garment with the iron. The paper toweling will absorb the warm wax. Do this a couple of times until the towels do not show a stain from the wax any more. Then dampen the stain, apply hand bar soap, and scrub. This should take any wax out of the item

Answer 8

Pee on a rag and dab the affected area with it.  That should break down the wax's molecular bonds.

Answer 9

paper and an iron.

but you have to be careful not to use inky paper that will stain, and chances are there will still be a big huge oil spot left when your all done.

Answer 10

Hot water.

Answer 11

If the clothes can stand boiling water, it can be boiled off, either by boiling in a pot or by pouring boiling water through the fabric from the less-waxy side of the cloth.

This is how batik artists remove the wax from their work.

You may need to do it more than once to get it all out.

Answer 12

You're supposed to be naked when you do that, silly.

Answer 13

you'll need a brown paper bag and a hot iron.

cut bag into several pieces bigger than the wax stains.

cover stain with paper and press down iron for about ten seconds at a time.  the heat makes the paper suck up the wax.    keep switching to a fresh piece of paper until all the wax is removed.

Answer 14

Goo Gone gets wax off of tablecloths.  So it probably works on most fabrics.  Use a cottonball soaked in Goo Gone.  Pat the waxy area.  Let it sit.  The wax dissolves and you can scrape it off.  Then wash the fabric if needed.
