Rinse It with Boiling Water
Another way to remove a wax stain is to rinse it with boiling water. First, remove any large chunks of wax, then lay the garment over a bowl so that the stained area is directly above the bowl. Fasten the cloth with a rubber band, pour boiling water over the stain and watch it melt away.
