A garment clEaning business used a variety of means to clean clothes. They advertised not just laundry and dry-cleaning but also waxing garments. Sometimes a waxed garment had so much filth and grime deeply embedded that they first had to dewax it before washing and drying it and finishing it with wax. Now and again, once the garment had been dewaxed it started falling apart from unseen decay. The customer was often quite sad when this happened. One can imagine them having a cremation in their back yard with lots of alcohol to go round!
