Once wax has dried onto clothing, several steps are required to remove it properly and completely. The first thing to do is to apply an ice cube or ice pack to the wax. This will make the wax brittle, allowing you to scrape off what you can. Use a credit card or a thin butter knife to gently scrape away as much of the wax as you can. Never use a regular dull knife that has serrated edges since this may damage the cloth. Once you have carefully removed as much of the wax as you can, it will be necessary to get your iron and a few clean paper bags. Place one paper bag underneath the cloth while you set the iron to heat on a medium to medium high level, depending on the fabric. Place a second paper bag on top of the wax. Gently iron the area until the wax has been transferred to the paper bag. Throw the paper bag with the wax residue into the trash once it has cooled. Repeat the process with another paper bag until all of the wax has been removed. Unfortunately, if the wax came from colored candles, a stain may appear on your clothing. If this is the case, pre-treat the stain and follow the laundering instructions for the material. For the best results, launder the soiled fabric as soon as possible.

Make sure of the wax is gone, Take two pieces of Paper towel Put one on the bottom of the stain and one on the top of the stain, Not heat your iron until it is warm NOT Hot, and iron over the spot this will remove all the wax residue. Not Take your detergent and use a little full strength onto the stain that's left. and scrub. Then you can add it to your wash and that should do it, If not then get Dry cleaning Solvent, or a prewash and use them.

Freeze the fabric or put an ice cube wrapped in cloth over the wax. You should be able to lift off the wax.

This works really well on carpet and it should work on clothes too:
On top of the clothes, put a piece of tissue paper (no color or patterns , use the one for cleaning in the kitchen). Then set your iron at the lowest temperature and put on top of it. once the was is melted, it will be absorbed into the paper. You may need to repeat this several times though.

Put them in the freezer. When the wax gets cold, it gets brittle & will come off.
