How do I remove wax from a canvas tote bag?
Our answer
Freeze or ice the wax, scrape off the solid layer, then lift residue between paper towels using gentle heat if the fabric care label allows.
Why this approach makes sense
The correct treatment depends on fibre, dye and care label. Heat or abrasive treatment can make some damage permanent.
Before you try it
Test a small area first and avoid repeating treatment if the fabric changes colour or texture.
