    A hair dryer also works well as a way to melt the wax so that you can remove it with absorbant paper towels

    Use a brown paper bag (square foot one ply). Place the corner of the bag over wax area. Apply high heat with a blow dryer at an angle (to avoid overheating) until visual oils appear. These oils will expand and absorb into the bag. Rotate the bag and continue the process. The shape of the oils will look the same, but constantly become smaller. Press on bag with heat and a heat safe object, like a pair of scissors. This will absorb the last of the oils. Apply a light amount of alcohol and fluff the area with a hair brush, then vacuum.

    When you use paper towels, it will help to put one under the iron and one inside the clothing. This prevents the wax from bleeding through to the other side.

    Put fabric in boiling water. Wax will melt and float. Skim wax off water. Continue until all wax is removed.
