    Yes, get ice cubes and freeze it then it should come right off

    There is a product called ‘incredible’ that you could try. I am not sure it removes wax but the list in the back of what it will remove is pretty long. Also I have posted a very good site that may help as well. Good Luck :)

    Use the ice cube trick to get off as much as possible, then place an absorbent cloth on it and iron with the iron at low setting. You will have to do this several time, but it will transfer the wax to the cloth.

    Use the ice cube method to start. If needed, place several thickness of paper towel over area and place warm iron over it. May need to repeat. At the point where all wax is gone, try one of those "stain pens" if color remains.

    You could do it one of 2 ways:

    Using paper towels, or old towels that you don’t care about getting wax on, put the towel over the wax and using your iron starting on a low setting and warm the wax, using higher heat only as the slip cover will take. It will absorb into the towel.

    Use any kind of oil to break up the holding property of the wax. Baby or mineral oil will work well. The soak the slipcover in detergent/water mix to get rid of the oil.

    Leg wax, so it has the consistency of honey, not wax right?
    I have gotten leg wax in towels before, it usually will wash out in the washer. But I have never used pink.

    Can the slip cover go into the washer? Try just tossing it in the washer according to the label instruction, then check for the stain and treat until it comes out. If it’s white try the clorox bleach pen.

    Also try dropping it off at the dry cleaners, they can work miracles.

    1. Freeze then chip off wax.

    2. For any remaining Dye stain use -

    Rit (and perhaps other companies) produces a color remover you may use on stained white clothes. Follow the directions on the box. Be certain that you don’t use the solution around your washer or dryer, as the solution is strong enough to mar the finish.

    Good Luck!!
