Facial Wax on Leather Shoes

A bowl with facial wax tipped over and got on two pairs of leather dress shoes (inside and outside of shoes). I am at a loss as to how to remove this wax?

Try sticking them in the freezer. The wax should then peel right off.

If you mean "facial wax" for removing hair, has fallen in and on the shoes, you might try putting the shoes in the freezer and the next day the wax should be easily removed because it will be solid.. and you should be able to pick it away. Worth a try. I know it works for other waxes on things wax shouldnt be on.

Go to Sally Beauty Supply ....there are about 5 in the Ft. Worth area. Buy a bottle of Clean+Easy wax remover. This is oil based because you can use it on your skin. This porbably won't hurt your shoes. May take a bit of elbow grease, depending on how much wax is on the shoes. Hope this helps!
You can find where Sally Beauty is by going to www.SallyBeauty.com then click on Store Locator.
