Why is Waxed Canvas So Expensive?

Waxed canvas is three to four times more expensive than canvas, this reflects the cost of the paraffin-based wax (alternative waxes, such as beeswax are even more expensive) and the time-consuming process of saturating the canvas with wax.

How Does Wax Canvas Age?

One of the features of waxed canvas which has resulted in its increasing use in fashion accessories is the attractive way in which it ages. Like full grain leather its appearance improves with age, making it a unique personal accessory. Scuffs, marks and creases create a rich patina which continues to develop with age.

How to Clean Waxed Canvas?

As a result of its water repellent qualities, waxed canvas also repels dirt. Dust or mud will not penetrate waxed canvas and can be removed with a damp cloth. An oil stain which has soaked into the material needs to be treated with corn starch or a similarly absorbent substance. Apply the absorbent substance generously to the affected area and leave for forty-eight hours, after which time it can removed with a stiff brush. If necessary, repeat the process. A stained area of waxed canvas can be washed using cold water and a gentle soap, but it will need to be re-waxed afterwards. Do not put waxed canvas articles in the washing machine and always allow them to dry naturally.
