Hello - Just got out last tablecloth from last fall - very pretty with pumpkins and leaves appliqued and it has candle wax on it. I was able to get the wax off but still has dk red color there. Any help as to how to get this off ? I was stumped and then I thought the QB should have lots of experience...awaiting replys.

Thank you -

If the wax melted on the table cloth, there is probably residue of the wax still in there. Get a brown paper bag and iron on the spot to see if it will absorb it. Good luck.

Be sure to protect whatever surface you iron on.

I've used a paper towel and ironed it. The wax will melt onto the paper towel. Works great.

definately the paper towel..you want to absord the coloring out of it the best that you can!

please let us know how you make out - you may have to use a couple of paper towels repeating the process until it all is absorbed. Sending happy thoughts your way!

I did paper towels (2) and pressed with a hot dry iron, worked great ! The paper towel sucked up the wax and the color !

ok -- I tried the paper bag and then the paper towels got out the wax and lightened the red color. But then a thought from my aunt. Just applique another leaf over the red that doesn't come out ! Tadaaa !
