I spilled some hot candle wax on my buddy's cotton shirt the other day, and it won't come out using our college- level knowledge of laundry care. any suggestions?
We had success placing a paper grocery bag over a wax spot and ironing. The wax melted and bled out of the shirt and into the paper.
Be patient and don't put the iron on too high (a middle setting should work).
It's amazing the things that wives know !
