The material is EXTREMELY thin - and I can't get this wax out of it. I tried to wash it out with soap and water but it didn't seem to phase it. Does anyone have any suggestions??? I have NO IDEA what else to try. I am currently out of shout - so can't use that either... And, of course, it is black...so I can't use anything that would take the color out. I told her I was SURE someone would know what to do... ideas??

This is advise if this is not cashmere or another delicate fabric. D threegardeners North Augusta, ON (Zone 5a) October 26, 2009 06:56 PM Post #7211483 A paper towel and a hot iron. Place the paper towel on the wax and run the iron over it. The wax melts and soaks into the towel. gen2026 Camden, AR October 26, 2009 07:17 PM Post #7211549 Thanks!
