Red Candle Wax on a White Tablecloth

RE: Red Candle Wax on a White Tablecloth Post By Keren (Guest Post) (04/28/2008) It didn't work for me. cloth still has a frustrating purple stain from candle wax. The wax came off easily, the stain remains even after pouring boiling water through it. Guess I'll search another site, sigh. Editor's Note: It's hard to know what kind of coloring was used to make the candle purple. You could try some Dawn which might remove it.

I did not bother with standing on a chair. I had a red candle wax stain on linen about the size of a half dollar. I then sprayed "Shout" on it and repeated the process a few minutes later. Washed normally, worked great! Thanks so much for the tip.

Most of it scraped off, but the stains remain. I tried the warm iron method. Didn't work. Any other ideas? Thanks, I hope.

Someone told me to stand on a chair, have the stained part draped over a bucket and pour boiling water over while standing on chair. It worked beautifully although took a few kettles of boiling water. No red stain left. Perhaps you'd like to give it a try.

I was able to use the iron to remove the wax but the red stain is still on the tablecloth. I even bleached it!

Place the waxed section on a paper towel, and cover this with a damp cloth, and iron. Your iron should be hot and dry - no steam - and it should all come out. Good luck. Report Spam or Abuse
