The strong alkalis used in washing detergent kills most wax, but in my case, it react under the wax in what appeared as large white smears and swirls.
Its a mistake I'll never make again and hopefully can serve as a warning for anyone else out there   |
Great advice. We have also noticed that black trim dries out and fades quicker when washed with a strong alkali detergent.
