BOILING WATER METHOD
One of the most effective ways to get the wax off is with boiling water. The colors will be lighter than the original colors since some of the excess dye will be removed. You want to do this near a sink.
Place your batik in a disposable container. Pour boiling water over your fabric until submerged. Stir back and forth to loosen the batik wax. The batik wax will start melting and float to the top.
Remove from container and continue to scrub any remaining wax using hot water directly from your tap. Any extra dye will also be removed.
Give your fabric a cold water bath to allow the colors to set. Wring the fabric out. Hang your item to dry.
