Why do crayon companies say treating wax stains on clothes by putting dishwashing liquid then washing it?

how does the treatment workWhy do crayon companies say treating wax stains on clothes by putting dishwashing liquid then washing it?
Because dish washing liquid is a enzyme and it usually works on many stains. But I found that if you scrape as much as possible off first, then get you iron and heat to warm not hot. Take a piece of paper towel and fold it, put it under the stain and put a single piece on top of the stain, and iron gently, that will heat the wax and remove it, make sure each time you change the paper towel so as not to get stains anywhere else. it works, Then wash it with your dish washing liquid.Why do crayon companies say treating wax stains on clothes by putting dishwashing liquid then washing it?
It cuts through the wax...think about it!
Dishwashing detergent, among other things, breaks down the grease and oil that you see on a lot of dirty dishes. So it would work on crayon too, given that a lot of crayons have an oil-type base.
About 25 years ago the Fed. gov't removed all phosphates from detergents because of water pollution. The dishwasher companies said their products wouldn't work without them.The Feds said OK. That's why the detergent works so well
