  1. Let the wax harden completely.

  2. Scrape off as much of the wax as possible with a plastic ID card or a plastic spoon. Don't use any sharp objects that could snag the chiffon.

  3. Place a paper towel on either side of the wax stain on the chiffon.

  4. Heat your iron to its lowest setting.

  6. Blot the chiffon with a dry cleaning solution to remove the grease stains from the wax.
