How do you get candle wax off a pair of Jeans, I thought you were supposed to wash them in cold water?

washed them in cold water, but that left spotsHow do you get candle wax off a pair of Jeans, I thought you were supposed to wash them in cold water?
If you will place a brown PAPER bag on top of the waxy area and go over it a few times with a med warm iron..the wax will transfer to the brown bag!..also works if you have spilled it on carpet..How do you get candle wax off a pair of Jeans, I thought you were supposed to wash them in cold water?
Here's something to try, you'll need some sheets of looseleaf paper or some paper brown bags and and iron. Turn the iron on the medium. Take your jeans and place two sheets of looseleaf or a paper bag underneath the spot where the wax is and above it. Then take your iron and iron over the top sheet of paper. The wax should melt and then catch onto the paper. IF its a lot of wax, your going to have to replace the paper and repeat. I dont know exactly how the fact that you washed it in cold water will affect this method, but good luck.





P.S. if you just iron it with nothing to hold the melted wax, your going to ruin your ironing board AND you IRON
Shout it out!
You should have used Shout!!
scrape all the heavy wax off first...then place a towel over the spot and iron... change the towel location frequently...it will act as a sponge when you heat the wax with the iron
As with any candle wax problems, on carpet麓s clothes furniture , best way to deal with the problem is . Get a brown paper bag or the kind of brown paper you would use to wrap up parcel麓s to send by post.Lay the paper on top of the wax stain ,and with a warm to hot iron ,iron on top of the paper this will lift out the wax on to the paper , easy when you know how
you should have put ice on it and then scraped it with a knife. What you have now is the oils from the candle in the fabric. There may not be a happy ending to this one...If it is a well worn pair of jeans, try doubling the detergent and use a little bleach in the washwater
This just happen to me last week. I just laid the jeans out flat and then ftook a couple paper towels and put on top of where the wax was. Then took my iron, on a medium setting and laid it on top of the paper towel. As the wax heated up the paper towel just absorbed the wax. You have to move the paper towel around a few times as your doing this because the paper towel absorbs so quickly.
Just iron on high on the WRONG side.





Ok, ok...no one irons a pair of jeans but just do what i told u just this once :-)
Easy beans ,, Using a hot iron ,, place a paper towel over the wax, than the hot iron. The iron will melt the wax and the paper towel will absorb the liquid wax. If you got a dark color wax on the jeans, good luck. The color may stain the fabric , than I'm lost.
