I was using some wax strips the other day and managed to the wax stuck to my duvet.
It is a white duvet cover so think it is now for the bin:(

Thanks in advance.

Iron it with brown paper or kitchen towel on top of it - the heat melts the wax which soaks into the paper."Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain." ~ Vivian Greene0

If you put some absorbent paper over the wax and iron it, it will melt into the paper and out of the fabric. Depending on the colour of the wax you may well be left with a stain though and will have to try the likes of Vanish etc.They are an EYESORES!!!!0
