I keep Blistex in the car, and when I opened it up to use, it was melted to a liquid a dn got on my clothes. Any thought how to get it out??

I've used a paper bag to cover the "infected" area and ironed over the spot moving the paper bag each pass over until no more can be lifted. It has worked fairly well, then I've followed up with a spot remover and a wash.

I usually start with ice and a dull knife, then move to the paper bag/iron trick. Does Blistex have all wax? Will GooGone work on the greasy part?

Dry cleaners baby! I had a wax dripping on a dress ... came right out, and I didn't have to do a thing! ;)

I'm with ice and a dull knife; while I haven't tried on clothing, it works on tablecloths. Throw the garment in the freezer for 20 min and try the knife. Good luck!
