Somehow Luke has managed to get red candle wax on a pair of his light trousers!! 
Now do I just put them in the wash as normal? Or do I need to do something to them first? Will the candle wax come out?  |

Try brown paper over it and then ironing it. Or stick in freezer till goes really hard then iron over brown paper after picking hard bits off first. |

A warm iron and bloting paper. It may take a few goes but eventually it will come off.
What I want to know is ....how did that candle wax get on his trousers??? Were you attending chruch and an accident happened?  |

Once you remove the wax, with either brown paper, kitchen paper, etc. Rub in some washing-up liquid, as it will leave an oil mark. Then spray with a stain remover before washing in the machine. Don't be to shocked, if it doesn't go completely though  |

Yes moral if the story is..........
Don't wear light coloured trousers to a party, or if your going to indulge in spontaneous candle play.... Remove trousers first |
