get some brown paper, put it onto your iorning board, lay the peice of clothing down with the wax against the paper and iorn it. works a treat! you might have to do it a few timers depending on how much wax there is...

Scrape away the worst of it.
If the fabric will stand heat (don't try this with acryllic), put kitchen paper either side and use a hot iron. The wax will melt and soak into the paper.
On synthetics that won't take a hot iron, you can get most of it out with dry cleaning fluid, and the rest will gradually come out with each wash.
If it's something valuable, there is a wax remover available from church furnishers (think about it - all those candles and brocade). Try www.hfltd.com

Place white paper on the wax and then use the iron. The paper catches it as it melts. Repeat with new sheets of paper every time until the wax is gone. Do not use news paper or any other printed paper as the print will transfer to the clothes.

Paper over the wax and then run an iron over the top of that, it will melt and soak in to the paper, keep going until there are no oil marks appearing on the paper. Brown paper works well.

Sandwich wax in absorbent cloth (kitchen towel will do) and keep ironing, moving cloth around if you need to, till its all lifted. Put any suitable soap/washing up liquid direct onto remaining stain before washing to lift the last of the grease out.

Try ironing it with paper on top of the cloth. The paper will absorb the wax.

Put the clothing in the freezer and then you can just break the wax off and hot wash the item.

Not sure if this works on clothes, cant see why it wouldn't, but on carpets you wet a tee-towel and press a hot iron with steam over the top, the wax normally comes off easily then! good luck!

Put blotting paper over wax stain and iron over it - paper will absorb the wax

If I have been you, i might evade utilising warmth to objective to get rid of the wax. you could try the "gum answer" it extremely is basically the least complicated technique i will grant. Stick your "garment" into the freezer. go away it there for around an hour. Wax, like gum, will solidify because it freezes and could in all probability be much less complicated to get rid of than utilising warmth.
