How do you get candle wax out of material?

Answer 1

Take a brown paper bag and place it over the material. Using a hot iron, press the paper bag. You will see wax bleed onto the bag. Keep repeating that on dry peices of bag until you see no more spots. Answer: If the material is a piece of clothing or small enough to place in a 5 quart pot. pour boiling water on it inside the pot, let sit. The wax will rise to the surface. let the water cool, poor off the solid wax on the surface, repeat if neccessary. This works a little better than the previous method because it removes it from the inner fibers and not just the surface wax.

Answer 2

To remove candle wax from fabric, place the fabric in the freezer until the wax hardens. Then, gently scrape off the excess wax with a butter knife. Place a paper towel on top of the remaining wax and use a warm iron to press and lift the wax onto the paper towel. Finally, launder the fabric as usual.
