Waxed canvas and oil-cloth fabrics require special care in order to preserve their protective properties and prevent undesirable outcomes such as mold-growth or heavy creasing. Never wash, soak, submerge, or dry-clean waxed/oiled fabrics. Spot-clean only. Always allow fabrics to completely dry before reapplying wax or wax dressings. When stored, waxed garments should always be hung and never folded. Always store waxed garments in a low-humidity, cool, and dry location.
