Wax Removal from clothing. To remove wax from your clothing, first chip off as much of the surface wax as possible, using a butter knife or credit card. Then, place several layers of paper towel over remaining wax, and apply a warm iron to draw wax into the paper towels. Replace the paper towels if they become saturated. You could also try using an acetone-based nail polish remover, or a spot dry-cleaning solution with acetone, but remember to always test in an inconspicuous spot first. Do not use acetone on delicate fabrics such as rayon and acetate.

Tar Removal from clothing. To remove tar from clothing, the best remedies are prewash sprays, mineral spirits or turpentine. Be sure to test on a non-visible are first, to check colorfastness in the fabric. Treat the area, scrub with a soft brush, rubbing the spot until it's out, then wash with detergent and water.

Grass stains can usually be dissolved with milk. If this is not effective try alcohol or ammonia. Hydrogen Peroxide with the addition of a few drops of ammonia will be effective, although it should be carefully tested before applying to a fine garment of dainty color.
