How can I get Birthday Candle wax of my white tank top?


Question:Candle wax accidentaly got on a new cotton tank from my sons Birthday. I did not see it and washed it. How can I get the horriable two blue smudges off my shirt? Please help it was brand new...

Answers:
Put a paper tower on it the wax and gently iron with not too hot an iron to get the wax to transfer to the towel. Then use mineral spirits to disolve what is left and pre spot and wash. Don't dry until stain is gone.


Iron over the spots using a paper towel to absorb any wax residue.

Spray the remaining stain with WD40 an wipe with clean damp rag and a few drops of Dawn.

Repeat until stain is gone, or almost gone. I then spray with Shout and wash as normal. Check the stain before it goes in the dryer. You may need to repeat.

Good luck!
