Removing Wax From Washed Clothes
I washed my son's scout shirt and did not know there was a candle in the pocket. It was washed and dried and now has stains all over from the candle, with the largest stain near the pocket. Help. How can I save this shirt?

RE: Removing Wax From Washed Clothes
I would pour boiling water over the stains to get some of the residue out, then use an old toothbrush or scrub brush and something like Goo-Gone or some other grease remover and scrub, scrub, scrub. (03/23/2010)
