[Histonet] paraffin problem

[king.laurie <@t> marshfieldclinic.org]

Kriss,
I used to have some success getting paraffin out of clothing by ironing it face down onto a brown paper bag-you are then left with a grease stain on the bag and residual on the cloth. At this point, a good laundry degreaser like Shout gel rubbed in and let set a couple of times before laundering. Don't put them in a hot dryer until you see that it is gone. The dryer will just set it in for good.
Good luck.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get paraffin off of clothes.  I
recently bought a pair of corduroy pants and spilled paraffin down them while
in the lab and know of no way to get the paraffin out.  Suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
