2 chapel weddings ago I blew out altar candles instead of using our candle snuffer! Big mistake – apparently, some of the wax blew back on black tunic and of course, stuck to it! After researching how to get the candle wax off my clothes, I knew I would be using an iron to do it, but wasn’t sure what went between the cloth and the iron. After googling my dilemma, I used a small brown paper bag – you put your iron on medium heat setting, while it’s warming up – you can scrape off any wax residue that might come off – then put the brown bag on top of the waxed clothes and press a few seconds, then a few seconds more – I repeated for the couple of spots that remained, and Poof, the wax seemed to disappear. Using my fingernail, I scraped about the area to see if any residual wax remained, and it seems gone! Yeah, I’m so excited! Now, I will just hand wash my black tunic, and I’m ready to wear it at the next wedding. Very simple, and it worked!
