Candlewax
- Allow candle wax to go hard. Scrape off excess wax with the blunt edge of a knife.
- Place the stain between white blotting paper or 2-3 layers of kitchen / paper towel then press stain with a warm, dry iron to melt residual wax. Allow cloth to cool.
- Lightly sponge the stained area with dry cleaning fluid and blot onto kitchen / paper towel to help remove residual coloured staining. Always check for colourfastness before using dry cleaning fluid.
CAUTION: Care should be taken when handling dry cleaning fluid. Ensure safety directions on the bottle are followed and store out of reach of children. ONLY APPLY DRY CLEANING FLUID WHEN THE CLOTH IS COOL. DO NOT IRON CLOTH TREATED WITH DRY CLEANING FLUID.
- If colour persists soak overnight, in water as hot as the fabric will allow, in Omo Small & Mighty Top Loader and Front Loader powder detergent. Always check for colourfastness and dye stability before soaking.
- Wash as usual with Omo Small & Mighty Top Loader or Front Loader.
