Put the T-shirt in the fridge until the wax is really hard - you should then be able to pick most of it off. If there is any that you can't get off, iron the t-shirt on a cool setting, placing a sheet of brown paper over the shirt. The wax will melt and be absorbed into the paper

Freeze it. Then after you pick the wax off take a hot iron with a paper towel on both sides of the stain. Apply a hot iron to the spot and the paper towels should pull the oil residue out of the shirt. If there is some dye left in the shirt, I would try to use a pre-soak of non-chlorine bleach or oxi-clean to get the dye out. Hope this helps.

. Scrape away as much wax as you can with a dull knife. (Image 1)
2. Place a sheet of butcher paper, glossy side up, or a portion of a brown paper bag on top of the wax.
3. Press the tip of a warm iron gently over the affected area until the wax melts and attaches to the paper. (Image 2)
4. Lift the paper from the fabric as it cools.
5. Dab a small amount of denatured alcohol onto the stain if any candle dye remains on the fabric.
6. Sponge with water. (Image 3)
7. Wash the fabric as usual.

Get brown wrapping paper, put it over the candle wax, shiny side down and iron over, it can take a couple of goes but it does normally work.

Im sure if you get some grease proof paper over the wax then iron on high setting over the paper it should draw the wax out. Good Luck!!

put some kitchen role on the ironing board and iron the shirt inside out so that the wax melts and sticks to the paper, you might need to do it a few times but its always worked for me

Put it in the deep freeze for a few hours...The wax will become brittle a will literally fall off.

Try holding an ice cube on it, the wax should get stiff and hopefully peel off.

Ice! Freeze it well, pick off what you can. If it's a colored wax, it will be difficult to remove the dye. Good luck!
