Can I use this wax on other fabrics?

No, this wax is specifically designed for use on waxed cotton garments only.

How do I clean the garment after applying the wax?

Clean the garment with a damp cloth. Avoid using soap or detergents, which can strip away the wax.

What if I get wax on my skin?

The wax is generally harmless. Wash the affected area with warm, soapy water.

Where should I store the wax?

Store the wax in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Can I use a hair dryer to help the wax penetrate the fabric?

What is the shelf life of the wax?

The shelf life is typically several years if stored properly. Refer to the product packaging for specific instructions.

Troubleshooting

Water is still penetrating the fabric after treatment.

Ensure the wax was applied evenly. Reapply wax and ensure the garment is properly heated to allow the wax to fully penetrate the fabric.
