Getting Candle Wax Off Clothing
Can anyone tell me how to get candle wax of my favourite black T-Shirt?
I tried pecking off as much as possible and then washing it but there is still a large amount that seems to be 'attached' to the threads of the t-shirt and can't be pecked off.
I've only worn the t-shirt twice, please help!

1. Iron repeatedly between 2 sheets of brown paper until no more wax uptake is evident on the paper.
2. Wash the material in white spirit.
3 Give the material a hot wash with detergent.
4 Repeat above steps as necessary.
