Step 1. Use an iron on medium heat setting, place two or three paper towels over the wax and iron over the wax until it is absorbed into the paper towels.
Step 2. Next, in an unnoticeable spot check for color fastness, if that is OK proceed by saturating spot with ammonia like Pearson's lemon scented ammonia, rub into spot until the spot has disappeared. Then launder as usually That should do the trick.

I agree with the answer that said to scrape off what you can and then iron with paper towel . But they forgot to tell you to use spray and wash on the spot after you get out the wax because most candles have fragrance oil in them and leave stains. You have to treat the spot after you get out the wax and before washing.

ice it and then scrape with a butter knife then to get the last remnants of it iron it between a few paper towels or a paper grocery bag as long as the ink on it isnt against the cloth

wait til it hardens and use a razor to scrape it off. then depending on the fabric maybe hit it with warm water and soap.
