Removing candle wax stains from clothing can be achieved effectively with a few simple steps. First, allow the wax to harden completely. Then, gently scrape off the excess wax with a dull knife or edge of a spoon. Place a paper towel or clean cloth over the remaining stain and iron on a low setting. The heat will melt the wax, which will be absorbed by the paper towel. Repeat as needed, then wash the garment according to the care label.
