Wax stains on fabrics, grandma’s trick that removes everything

Remedies to remove wax stains from various fabrics

The first remedy that generally solves any problem is: take a dull knife, follow the contour of the wax stain, rub delicately only externally and slowly lift the machine present on the fabric.

You have to make precise but above all delicate movements, otherwise you will ruin the fabric and at that point there is very little that can be done. Some people use a dryer to remove wax stains from fabrics. There is no denying that the method works,  but it is really dangerous.

So, turn on the dryer, set it to maximum temperature, direct the air directly on the stain, keeping  the device at least 10 cm away. Little by little the wax melts with the heat, so it is rubbed with absorbent paper.

The system works, but you can well imagine that there may be last minute unforeseen events that can permanently ruin the garment, so be careful.

Finally, the last method that generally gives great satisfaction and that solves the problem in a very short time is the one that all grandmothers have used and  continue to use today.

This is iron. A cotton cloth is spread over the wax stain, then ironed, the cotton fabric absorbs the wax which slowly melts, just as happens when using a hair dryer  . Made. 

Old wax stain, here are some good tips.

If the  wax stain   to be removed is colored, it is advisable to soak a cotton ball or a piece of cotton in ethyl alcohol and then wipe it over the stained surface.

Alcohol and cotton will completely dissolve the color. Immediately afterwards you can  proceed to washing in a washing machine,  avoiding high temperatures, especially if it is a delicate and already treated fabric.
