Does anyone know how to get a vaseline stain out of cloyhes?

Try dampening it, rub well with washing liquid or soap, inside and out of the clothing, then wash.

This method works for me for for other oily marks.

Ooooh, don't try that - you run the risk of *setting* the stain.

The warm iron trick is simply to remove the candle wax. The greasy mark that it leaves behind needs to be washed out with some sort of detergent.
