Candle wax on a velvet dress. Help!?
Got a gorgeous vintage velvet dress and when drunk managed to spill candle wax on it. Whats the best way to remove it?
Here are 4 methods I have read or heard about:
1. Place cloth in freezer for approx. 1/2 hour, taking care not to place it near any potential stain-makers. This will re-solidify the wax and make it chip off more easily with the use of a dull knife.
2. Use a product called "Wax-away," or something similar available through church linen supply houses and some hardware stores. Use according to instructions on bottle.
3. Take to a cleaner who specializes in fine and delicate fabrics. (I did this; it was $60, though, but the results were great.)
4. Blot stain with small amounts of dry-cleaning fluid, then wash with cloth dampened with dilute detergent.
NB: Don't use the warm iron and paper towel method as it is just as likely to drive the stain deeper into the fabric. Also, if the candle wax is colored, I would not try doing anything myself.-
