Getting wax and oil out of linens..help!

I used to pay for linen service but recently stopped to save on cost. But my sheets that I use for waxing just don't look super clean like I would like them. I don't want clients thinking they are laying on a dirty sheet. It leaves oil spots and sometimes soft wax from doing legs when a client accidently rolls their leg which sticks to the sheet a bit. Any recommendations would be great. I used to use a wax mat but worry if clients find that gross even though its sanitized after each client. Thanks!

How do you feel about disposable sheets. At purespadirect.com they are reasonably priced, and depending on how much you wax they may be worth it to you.

I like roll table paper for this reason. Always fresh. Some of my staff preferred waxing on towels so we bought towels close to our wax color (aqua), but still gross.

I use table paper always. But I have heard of people soaking their sheets in dawn (dish-washing liquid) then washing them again with normal detergent. Maybe have some stain remover (I use zout which is a enzyme stain remover) on hand to spray on the sheet after the client so that by the time you wash them, the remover has had time to work on the stains a bit before they set.
