Removing hair removal wax stains from clothes
Remove excess
Peel off any surface wax and then sandwich the fabric between sheets of blotting paper or kitchen towels. Then, use a warm iron to press down on the back of the fabric.

Without rinsing off the liquid detergent, place the garment into the washing machine with similar items. Leaving the washing detergent on the hair removal wax stain will give your wash that extra boost of cleaning power.
Dose
You can also use the pre-treat cap to ensure that you use the right amount of washing detergent. Just fill it with the correct dose of liquid detergent and place it directly into the drum of your washing machine, on top of your dirty laundry.
Wash
Wash on the usual cycle, on the hottest wash temperature indicated by the garment’s fabric care label.
