Hello,

I have referenced this website in the past for some tips, but I have a question. I spilled wax on a pair of my nice pants...does anyone have any suggestions on how to best get that off without ruining my clothes. Thank you...if I can help with anyone I will be sure to let you know.

Blot from outside toward middle with white rag and solvent cleaner like rubbing alcohol, denatured alcohol, or dry cleaning fluid.

I have also had this happen to me and I used my hair dryer while blotting. The hair dryer melts the wax and then you can blot it off as it melts - worked perfectly for me.
Hope it helps!
