How do you get wax out of a terry towel?

In: Laundry

Answer

Put your iron on WARM! Then get paper toweling. Place the terry towel on your ironing board, put the paper toweling over it and press with the iron for 6 - 7 seconds. It will melt the wax (you may have to do this several times until all wax is melted.) If the wax is red or any other color and your terry towel is white, you could then put it in cold water with a little bleach and let it soak for approx. 20 mins.

Answer

How much time do you really want to spend on a towel? What is your time worth? Throw it away, it's a towel!
