Wax that accidentally gets onto our clothes or tablecloths can pose quite a challenge. However, with a few simple methods, it can be effectively removed without damaging the fabric. In this article, we will present proven ways to get rid of wax and give tips on how to take care of fabrics to keep them looking new. 
How to Remove Wax?
Freezing
The first step in removing fresh wax is to harden it. Place the stained material in the freezer for about 30 minutes. During this time, the wax will solidify, making it much easier to remove. Once removed from the freezer, the wax will become brittle and easy to scrape off.
Using Paper Towels
When the wax has hardened, the next step is to remove it. Cover the stain with a piece of paper towel. Then, set the iron to a low temperature and gently press the area with the wax. The heat will cause the wax to start melting and it will absorb into the paper. Repeat this process until the stain is completely gone.
Cleaning
After removing the wax, to restore the fabric’s freshness, wash the material in warm water with a natural detergent. This will help remove any leftover wax residues and any dirt that may have remained after cleaning.
Additional Methods
If there is still color left on the material after removing the wax, you can try additional methods. A mixture of baking soda and water (in paste form) is excellent for removing discoloration. Apply the paste to the stain, wait a few minutes, and then rinse with cold water.
Another option is to use hydrogen peroxide, especially on white fabrics. Apply a small amount to the stain, wait a moment, and then rinse. This method works effectively, but it is always a good idea to conduct a test on a less visible part of the fabric.
Conclusion
Removing wax from fabrics doesn’t have to be difficult. By using simple, home methods, you can effectively restore your clothing to its original appearance. Remember to act quickly, as the longer the wax remains on the fabric, the harder it will be to remove. It’s also worth using natural cleaning agents to protect both the fabrics and the environment.
