She needed to wear them to a function. I said well she can wear them, this site I go to posts help for everything!!!! I searched and VIOLA! I told her to lay them on top a brown paper bag with paper towels underneath for padding (wax side down) and to iron the top side with a warm iron. She was skeptical but said oh well.. if that doesnt work Ill toss them out. The pants were rayon/polyester. She called back so happy and excited and said * Wow thanks so much it WORKED and I cant even see where the wax was!!!* lol she was laughing with joy!!!

Question - How do you remove candle wax from a tablecloth? It depends on the material of the table cloth: Acetate, Burlap, Fiberglass, Rayon, Rope, Silk, Triacetate, Wool Freeze to harden the wax. Carefully scrape up as much wax as you can, then place an absorbent pad under the stain and flush with spot remover. Allow to dry and repeat if necessary. Acrylic Fabric, Cotton, Linen, Modacrylic, Nylon, Olefin, Polyester, Washable Wool Scrape to remove excess wax. Place the stained area between two pieces of white blotting paper and press with a warm (not hot) iron. Change the paper as it absorbs the stain. This stain can easily spread, so use care while pressing. On colorfast fabrics, whit cotton, or linen, try pouring boiling water through the stain. Allow to dry. If any trace remains, flush with dry-cleaning fluid. If any dye remains, sponge with 1 part rubbing alcohol mixed with 2 parts water. (Do not use this solution on acrylic or modacrylic fabric.) Rinse well with clear water and dry. A good resource is How To Beat Housework ISBN 0-88176-435-3 - Nathan A. Unterman -------------------- One trick my wife uses is to place the cloth in the freezer for a few hours. Often, the wax falls right off in many cases. - Steve Sample Source: http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/gen99/gen99819.htm Report Spam or Abuse
