I got melted wax on my favorite dress shirt. How can I get it out?

Asked by eagles22 (41points) July 4th, 2010

So very specific situation – there was a little bit of red wax stuck to the bottom of my laptop, probably because there was a piece of wax on the table that it was on previously (I did not realize this at the time). Then, when I laid the laptop on my chest while laying on the couch, I think the heat from the bottom of my laptop melted the red wax onto my shirt.

I don’t know anything about washing dress shirts because I only take them to the dry cleaner, but I would like to wear the shirt tonight. Can I throw it in the washing machine? Will that ruin it? Any particular way to get wax off of a shirt?
