Fabric

1. If the wax is still soft, freeze the item to harden the wax, and then scrape off the excess wax.

2. Sponge with a dry-cleaning solvent.

3. Place the stain between clean paper towels and press with a warm iron to transfer the wax to the paper towels. Replace the paper towels frequently to absorb more wax and prevent transferring the stain to other places on the fabric.

4. Pretreat with a prewash stain remover.

5. Launder, using chlorine bleach, if safe for the fabric, or oxygen bleach.

6. If any color remains, rewash.

Upholstery

1. If the wax is still soft, freeze it by applying an ice cube wrapped in a small plastic bag, and then scrape off the excess wax.

2. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with a dry-cleaning solvent.

3. Blot until the solvent is absorbed.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until the stain disappears.

Carpet

1. If the wax is still soft, freeze it by applying an ice cube wrapped in a small plastic bag, and then scrape off the excess wax.

2. Sponge with a dry-cleaning solvent.

3. Cover the stain with a clean white cloth and press, using the tip of a warm iron to transfer the wax to the cloth. Repeat, using a clean portion of the cloth until all the wax is transferred from the carpet to the cloth.

4. If a color stain remains, sponge the stain again with a dry-cleaning solvent.

5. Blot dry.
