Removing wax from wool

If it is expensive, I would take it to the cleaners. So far you have one strike against you for getting wax on the coat. You don't need another strike for making it worse! ;)

Hi Adam

White spirit will remove the wax but don't dig at the fibres use the reverse end of a spoon to break the wax up.

Try using a hair dryer on medium to loosen the wax. Just warm it up, don't try to completely melt it. Once loosened, scrape it with a plastic scraper. You will gets almost all it it out this way with patience. You can also iron the garment USING A WOOL SETTING with an absorbent terry towel on both sides of the garment. This will transfer a lot of the wax to the towels. It may casue some of the wax to penetrate further into the wool so do this at your discretion. If it is a different color (like red wax, white wool, etc.) then a professional cleaning may be the only total answer.

Good luck!
