Candle Wax On Clothes
4 Answers
Spilled hot candle wax on my polo shirt and blue denim jeans today. It has now hardened and I can't scrape it off! Will it come out in the wash, or do i need to do something special with it? Thanks!

I scraped off what I could and then ironed over the wax with a piece of paper between the shirt and the iron - apparently you are supposed to use brown paper but I hadn't got any and used ordinary printer paper - then I washed it and it was fine.
I think the heat from the iron melts the wax and the paper soaks it up.
