Whether it’s a lost candle or a waxing mishap, waxing your clothes can be frustrating. But with the right approach, you can effectively remove wax stains and restore your clothes to their original appearance. Here is a detailed guide on how to remove wax melts from clothes in different ways:
Method of freezing
Wrap and freeze: Place the waxed dress in a plastic bag and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Scrape Off: Once frozen, remove the coat and gently scrape off the melted wax with a sharp knife or the tip of a credit card. Be careful not to damage the fabric.
Washing: After removing the wax, wash the garment according to its care instructions. Use the hottest recommended water temperature.
Method of iron metal
Apply with paper towels: Apply a few paper towels over the wax stain.
Apply Heat: Set your iron to low heat and gently iron on paper towels. The heat will melt the wax and the paper towels will absorb.
Pull the rest: Replace the paper towel and repeat until you no longer have wax on the paper towel.
Hot water method

Pour water: Carefully pour warm water over the wax stain, making sure it covers the entire affected area. Scrub and Rinse: Gently scrub the area with a brush or soft cloth to loosen the wax. Wash your clothes as usual.
To use a hair dryer
