During a recent blackout, one of the 1st candles I found was a large red Xmas candle. I wanted to move it didn‘t realize how much melted wax had collected on top. I accidentally tipped it a big blob of wax spilled on the tablecloth. I made the mistake of trying to mop it up, instead of putting ice on it so I could scrape it off. Now I have a large wax stain on my cloth which I had rubbed in. The cloth is burgundy so the stain doesn‘t show as much as it would on a white cloth, but I am very much aware it‘s there.What to do? I thought of putting a cloth under the stain ironing it hoping the wax would transfer to the under cloth. It is washable (55% cotton - 45% polyester - cold wash - warm iron). It has been washed once. Do you think pouring hot water on the stain would work? And then ironing it over a cloth.Would appreciate any suggestions you have. Thanks.
placed the tablecloth interior the freezer until eventually the wax is annoying. Chip off the wax. there'll probable be a greasy residue. first mild dish cleansing soap is powerful by way of fact it removes grease, word to the section and wash (presented your tablecloth is robotically washer-friendly). with any luck that's no longer pink wax on a white fabric, as you will possibly under no circumstances be waiting to do away with the dye without bleaching, yet you're able to desire to bleach no rely if that's a white fabric. good luck. it could no longer pop out a hundred%, yet this could do away with lots of the lines.
Put a couple layers of paper towel under the stain, a couple sheets on top. set your iron on its' lowest setting, put the iron on top of the top sheets of paper towel. Just set the iron down, don't move it around. Let it set for a few seconds. Check the paper towel. the paper towel will absorb the melted wax. Change the paper towel until no more wax is being absorbed. Launder as usual.
make sure you put a towel under the cloth and on top of it, that should get it out.
