How to remove candle wax from clothes at home
Almost any stain on clothing can be easily cleaned and removed using modern laundry detergents. But if it is candle wax, do not even try to immediately wash or scrub it with your hands or use a washing machine (delicate mode) - this is ineffectual. The wax-like mixture will never dissolve with water, and it cannot be removed with detergents either. And also pay special attention that paraffin instantly eats into all fibers of the material from both sides.
Basic methods
Note. If you want to remove traces of paraffin that has eaten into trousers or other wardrobe items, wait until the wax has completely hardened. Otherwise, the situation will not improve, but, on the contrary, will worsen. The problem spot, as a result, will increase in size.
Iron
The use of the hot method involves heating the paraffin to its melting point and separating it from the fibers of the material. An iron is the ideal tool for this. When thermally treating a stain, it is important to heat the appliance to eighty degrees. The steam function is recommended to be prematurely removed from the standard mode.
Step-by-step instructions for removing wax from a candle.
- Clean up traces of wax. To do this, use a kitchen spatula or nail scissors. Be very careful not to deform the fibers.
- Prepare a napkin, cotton cloth, A4 white sheet.
- While the iron is heating up, place a napkin on top and bottom of the material. Cover the paraffin blot with a cloth and a sheet of paper. Start ironing the stain.
- After cleansing, be sure to hand wash the item. A stain remover will help get rid of greasy marks.
- It is strictly forbidden to iron synthetic fabrics at eighty degrees.
- Do not use an iron to remove stains from colored candles. The dye used for their production will only get more into the fibers of the fabric, and your favorite jacket will certainly deteriorate.
Steam to remove the wax from the candle
To use this method, arm yourself with:
- a piece of natural fiber fabric (an old T-shirt will do);
- hairdryer or professional steamer.
Removal technology:
- cover the paraffin blot with a napkin and start heating with steam;
- under the influence of hot air, the stain will melt and be absorbed into the material;
- in the absence of the desired result, the procedure can be repeated several times.
Important! If using a hair dryer does not bring the desired results, use a steamer. You just need to keep it at a distance of ten centimeters from the stain, otherwise you will spoil the fibers of the fabric.
Freezing
This method will be most effective for the following materials: denim, leather, woolen, nap products. 
To do this, use:
- freezer (hardened wax is quickly removed even from light dresses).
- ice from the freezer;
- ice or cold water;
- a toothbrush.
The result will be as fast as possible if the item is placed in the chamber immediately after the wax ingress. This should be done quickly so that the wax is not absorbed into the fibers.
IMPORTANT! This is the only way to save costume fabric.
If your garment is made of thin, delicate fabrics, use ice cubes to clean up traces of wax. Just apply them to the desired area, and after a few minutes, scrub the stain with a toothbrush. 
Removing wax from clothes of different materials
You can remove paraffin blots and wax from a candle from denim using the freezing method.
More details:
- wash the stain;
- wash the product after half an hour, the pollution will immediately disappear.
This cleaning method is the best for home use.
And also consider the following materials: silk, satin, organza, chiffon, wool.
These fabrics are not easy to clean because they deform when exposed to high temperatures. If you want to use a hot method of cleaning, pay attention to the label of the item and use only the temperature specified by the manufacturer for processing.
However, it is more rational to use a more gentle way of removing traces of paraffin - soak the thing in water, and carefully, after a few minutes, remove the remnants with a piece of natural fabric. Grease will remain in place of the stain, which can be easily removed with a stain remover. 
And also there are synthetic products that are forbidden to be processed with high temperatures, for example, a light "top" made of chiffon. In this case, traces of paraffin are removed with a cleaner: the agent is applied to the sponge and the desired area is treated. It is important to rinse off any chemical residue.
Advice! Before using this radical cleaning method, test the solvent on an inconspicuous area of clothing. If he damaged the fibers of the fabric or spoiled its natural shade, take the product to a dry cleaner.
Woolen and silk items are also damaged by drops of paraffin. You can quickly remove it with regular dishwashing liquid. Apply a little of the product to the stain and leave it on for 12 hours. It remains to thoroughly wash the soapy residue from the fibers.
To remove candle wax from clothing, take it out in the cold or put it in a cooking chamber. Then carefully remove the marks with a wooden spatula. In this way, you can also clean leather pants, a skirt or even.
