After a Birthday dinner the other night, I found that my taper candles had dripped down on my good placemats. They are a woven cotton and a light pink. The candle wax is bright red.

Put them in a freezer and then pick it off the best you can.

Woven Cotton Placemats

Put a old bath towel over the placements and then with your
iron which has been heated I'd gentlely leave in on the
waxy area until it has melted and than let the old
bath towel soak up the wax. Try not to more the
iron to much back and forth with to much force. Don't
leave it on to long or it may burn. Once the wax is off
use your spray and wash and toss it in the laundry to
really get it clean.

Place in freezer, leave overnight, wax will chip off the next morning.
Then, you can iron the rest of the wax with newsprint paper on top. It will soak up the wax.
Then you can treat the stain in the placemats with oxyclean or whatever you use.
Good luck

Use brown paper, put over the wax and gently heat with an iron. It will come up after several goes moving the paper around.

Place a paper towel(or anything that easily holds liquids) place iron on low, get it hot enough to melt the wax but no hot enough to burn the paper, place paper between wax and iron and melt the stuff
